You were being provided employee parking at a cost as a courtesy by whoever governs parking at AUS. They have decided to not extend that courtesy any longer to a passenger that happens to be a pilot based elsewhere, and Spirit is not required to accommodate you as it was not negotiated under section 5 of the CBA.
It’s not an injustice, it’s an inconvenience, and you have to live with it unless Spirit opens a domicile in AUS, you choose to drive to a domicile, or the parking authority in AUS changes their policy.
SMH…the mental gymnastics you have to pull to make the case that you or someone who lives at a DIFFERENT domicile are an airport employee, and I am not, is astonishing. I understand what the CBA says. I never claimed that Spirit owes me a parking spot in AUS…it’s a completely different conversation.
