Last I checked it is our union that goes to the negotiating table correct? I don’t give a flying **** if it’s the companies problem or not, it will still need to be negotiated and the Union will be involved in that.
stop jumping down peoples throats.
You said the “union painted us into a corner with FO rates” and that’s an ridiculous thing to say.
Do we need better pay rates across the board, yes
Did the union cause FOs to leave because of the pay rates, no.
75% aprox of the pilot group voted for that
Want better pay rates? Do does 3000 Spirit pilots and 1800 Frontier pilots. There is a process. If the company wants to pay more in the meantime, there is a process. The Union didn’t paint anyone into a corner, 75% of pilots said “yup, good to me.”
You have been here a minute and that same Union is the same one that passed the LOA that allowed you to stay on property instead of collecting an unemployment check.
So if you don’t like my response, so be it. I’ll see you at the picketing events.
