It shouldn't have to be said with regard to helping the company out during negotiations but with the lack of unity within this pilot group apparently it does. Everyone has their justifications. At the end of the days the *****s will ***** and the lazy will be lazy. And the company will laugh and laugh, all the way to the bank as the pilot group fights each other.

Spirit had established a status quo with their habitual OT pickups in large amounts. When folks stopped picking up OT at that same level the operation experienced a meltdown. With extended negotiations they were less motivated to bail out managements poor staffing model and then came the TRO.
