I called my rep about a blatant contract violation, and he literally told me they were aware of the situation. But weren't going to do anything about it. It was hard leaving, not just because of seat, seniority, or pay, but because I liked working there. I just couldn't get past how both management and the union had given up.
Completely agree!! SPA is weak. What other union has Negotiating Committee members serve for 20+ years. SPA is a large reason we are where we are.
i just got way to comfortable. Way to use to 4 days off, way to use to drop to zero. I missed the window to apply when the Legacies were hiring 2,000 a year and now they are getting pickier. I’m sure my DUI 7 years ago is a huge road block. I just pray to god I can either land at a regional as a DEC or at an ACMI carrier to tide me over to the 10 year mark when I no longer need to report it. I would stay, but I just don’t think Spirit has enough runway to make it another 3 years. Not with the losses we have been having.
