Be cynical all you want makes no difference to me! Your argument on this subject has been the same for months and is just as dry now as it has ever been. You’ve been accustomed to a **** schedule flexibility your entire career and now you can’t see anything different. Open your eyes to a bigger picture. There are other ways to do this! Or don’t. But the rest of the NK seniority list ain’t letting this go!
You're adorable. All the guys that left NK for other airlines, did someone simply never tell them how amazing it was? Did you guys not let them touch FLICA or something? How did you keep it such a secret, how amazing it is there? But I'm glad you've got this whole business figured out now that you've been at Spirit a couple of months now.

There's much I want to bring over from the NK contract, but this "everyone drops everything and only fly's two Thursdays a month for 400%" shtick is getting old. Inverted was trying to lead you there recently, when he explained that obviously only a fraction of the airline COULD EVEN POSSIBLY drop their schedule. If even a small fraction of the airline did in fact drop their schedule to sit for premium, the grids would all go red. Even on an average good day your grid is probably only green by 3-10 guys. So if just that many decided to do what you did the grid would go red, and everyone else would be denied. The simple fact that the grids are still green are proof that only a fraction are ACTUALLY DUMPING THEIR SCHEDULES to sit for premium. So while anyone can (maybe) do it, No, not everyone can do it.
