"Does anyone have proof the Spirit MEC received an incentive of some kind for either endorsing the current contract, or bringing the pilot group back without an actual contract in place?
No offense, because I suspect you did not intend it this way, but it's kind of an incendiary question ( ie flame bait ). I am not on the MEC, but I can assure you that nothing of this nature happened. It may have been speculated by guys that are ****ed off by the way our strike concluded and the new CBA, but it didn't happen.
We struck because management forced it. When we returned to work it was because we had reached a point of diminishing returns, and it was time to move forward.
