With all due respect. You can't be serious thinking that. Before furlough I asked one of the ALPA guys to see if they can approach the company and convince them to not take any resignation letters into account from furloughed pilots. This could have helped some of us finding a job since many companies make you resign your recall rights before they hire you. But some airlines dismiss such resignation letters and recall you regardless. Spirit refused that even though it was actually in their interest too to bring back someone who has already been trained, typed, etc.

They do not give a flying _crap about you and never will. If you ever get anything from Spirit, you can be sure it is because some others, before us have fought for it. The exception is when they make a mistake, like with the longevity pay. But since they do that a lot, it seems it is almost the norm.
