How well are the Spirit pilots paid compared to the above airlines? If above average, look out. You’d be amazed how many concessions pilots are willing to accept when the alternative is no job at all. If you don’t think they’ll threaten you and use that leverage, you’re kidding yourselves. There’s no way to tell if the threat is real, but it has to be taken seriously which means the concessions will happen. If the restructure is anything like the legacies in the mid 2000’s, they’ll be multiple rounds of concessions.
Spirit should just pack it up then and shut it all down. Almost everyone has a class date or interview right now that is not close to retirement. There is a massive group in the AA pool right now leaving in the next 2 months. Many for United too... Spirit is literally over if they come for concessions. There will be no pilots left. I dont know one person that isnt leaving Spirit now. 2025 is going to be a blood bath. Add concessions in there and i think the company shuts down due to no staffing
