Thats why longevity matters.
We shouldn't get emotional. I expect Spirit pilots to fight for relative because the vast majority of you are so new. We will argue for DOH and somewhere in the middle we will meet. That is how it will work and the rest of this talk is just a divisive wast of resources.
You will be very senior still, the company will be double in size. Also you should know that hire date and age have nothing to do with one another. Same class can have a 25 yr old and a 50 yr old. It should not be either end of the this argument but somewhere in the middle. It’s also crazy to think that everyone at b6 wants doh and everyone at nk wants relative. Ask your top guys how they feel about doh. My original comment was to try to get some of the logical arguments as I have not been through this before and the statement “ I don’t want to be placed by a ‘16 nk hire” is not the argument, it’s the emotional response.
