It's not all about pay. Spirit pilots were surveyed and said QOL was more important. We maintained that. It's called TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGES. It's not just about the base rate of pay. You don't understand.

You can rant and rave all you want about us to set industry leading wages. We knew that was never going to happen and never negotiated for that. We want more aircraft to show up and people to move up. You don't understand.

The company wanted $40MM in concessions. We got $78 MM in improvements. We lost nothing in the strike. It was a successful strike. Most are not because strikers are out too long to gain any real advance and the company suffers a loss so they can't offer a better package. You don't understand.

If you don't want to join the NC, just stand by and see what happens before you predict doom and gloom. I'm so tired of the Negative Nancy's.
