Ha ha, I hear ya. I'm speaking on my friends behalf, who has personally spoken with many of the furloughed pilots. 99% of them feel the same way, abandoned by their union. The union sent an email out to the furloughs about mandatory recall and said something to the effect of "we need 12 BODIES in class for December first.". I couldn't believe the UNION referenced BODIES in class...seriously? That is bush league again. I feel for the furloughed guys and gals at spirit. Many of them reference the airline as the "ultra low cost, ultra low class airline.". Anybody currently at spirit knows baldanza could actually care less about the pilots. If I were theta I'd be seriously afraid of another furlough...and I can tell you firsthand they suck! The union can come on here all they want and flame me but I don't care. They need to answer to their pilot group, who in fact includes the furloughs. But since soo many of them are being forced to resign since the union didn't fight for leave of absences, they really don't even count, right? Such messed up thinking. How freaking hard is it to fight for a leave of absence policy for YOUR UNION BROTHERS and SISTERS, but then again...they are only BODIES, right?
