The union literally sent out a message telling every Spirit pilot that each Spirit pilot needed to do what was best for their family, thats a big hint to explore options. When you see union reps leaving for legacy airlines, that should have been the red flag to explore options elsewhere. You think SPA ALPA can literally send an email out saying "We Are ALL FOOKED, LEAVE, LEAVE NOW." Anyone with eyes partially opened would have known for a while that this isnt trending in the right direction and tough decisions will need to be explored. The only false narrative I have seen is from some on this forum and some guys on the line who act like this will all end well.
Im sorry youre in your position, I hated having to give up double digit years of seniority when I left, but I dont blame the union. I should have left 2 years earlier but that's hindsight and nobody's "fault" but mine. But when I read the 77 Vice Chairs fairway email and it basically said "this place is minor leagues and will never get better," that got me thinking. When the 77 CA, the ORD rep, a NC member and other MEC pilots left, that was the club over the head.
