I initially took the quote as the poster was angry at AirTran for 'stealing' the flying. Later it appeared that the same poster was saying that it was a good thing because it puts that pressure on Spirit's management team for loss of revenue and market share.
I just wanted to make sure that I understood the initial *intent* behind the first post. If I hear someone talking about stealing from someone else - it is usually thought of in a negative light (unless you got a 'steal' on that new car
)
I'm just learning this union speak too, but from what I have read (and believe I understand) this would NOT be struck work - obviously since it has the blessing of the Spirit MEC.
