So, while a strike is the last resort you can rest assured that Delta and a few other carriers are licking their chops at the idea of Spirit's pilots going on strike.
It appears to me that the big winners out of a Spirit strike would be Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and American.
Either way....please get your facts straight before you spend time smearing and threatening other airlines.
Sounds to me that you need to get your facts right too. I can't speak for the other carriers you named, but are YOU a Delta pilot? How do you know what we will do. As a Delta pilot, I am certain what we will do. Any route that we fly against Spirit on, an increase in frequency or upgauge in equipment to handle increased loads is considered flying struck work. Any Spirit route that we don't operate now, but try to start after the strike is also considered struck work.
The only way those get covered is if the Spirit MEC gives their approval to cover them, to put economic pressure on management, like the NWA MEC did during their strike, otherwise it ain't gonna happen.
