Spirit is burning the house for firewood and might not make it into 2026. Perhaps some of you could get resolutions passed at local councils to get DALPA to engage management in at least priority interviews for Spirit pilots. Priority hiring would even be better. Delta will benefit more than any other airline by the shutdown of Spirit.

We've hired many Spirit pilots before this, pilot hiring is well aware of the Spirit Pilots' quality. It would be nice though like you said to try to get some priority for them here at DAL. A worthy endeavor and hopefully it can get thru in time should the MEC pursue it. I would hope the company though doesn't ask for something in return. But that would be up to the MEC and us to determine how much a give we'd let them grab for this.

A good idea.

I feel sorry for the spirit guys and gals and hope we can hire a bunch of them. They’re genuinely a great group overall. That being said I’m not giving away contractual rights. That’s just a no no.
