I guess if your idea of “The fight” is wearing ridiculous orange lanyards and stabbing your fellow pilots in the back all to accept the laughing stock TA, then yeah, I was there for most of that.

Ahhh, exactly. Which is why I laughed so hard when ol WT93205 assured me how strong the group would be compared to Spirit and not settle for a Spirit contract. And now Frontier is on the verge of voting in a sub Spirit TA.

I came to Frontier knowing the pilot group is great, will stand strong, and won't be a sellout when it comes to negotiations. They know what they are worth. It is called experience and they have already realized the kool aid is spiked. You do realize we are still in a post bankruptcy contract right? So compare your new TA to the rest and you won't be so thrilled. That is why our MEC raised our ask recently and even listened to our complaints about LTD. We were very vocal about the ask not being good enough even with our one of a kind scheduling system. We have been very vocal we don't want PBS. I had hoped Spirit would have voted it down and stood strong for better because you were holding the cards and Spirit wanted to grow so they needed the new TA to attract pilots. This was also the best economy in probably forever. You got desperate. You showed your cards just to get an ugly carrot. You could of had a much better one. However, just look at industry average now. Spirit is at the bottom of the new TA's other then Allegiant. This is why I was so disappointed in Spirit pilots and still am. I have faith in F9's pilot group. They will not be pushed around even by Indigo. That is why we voted 100 percent to go on strike if allowed. That is why the MEC didn't agree to the new Spirit rates -7 percent 6 months ago. Probably would have made more with our vacation slides but we knew that was not acceptable. So why are you on here? I think you just need validation you are not at the bottom like Allegiant. If you voted no you should be complaining to your pilot group not ours. I have no hard feelings toward you for coming at me, but I do not agree with your TA payrates and never will. You could have done better. This was the time to do it. You have good parts in it but you will have much ground to make up years from now which I doubt will happen at this point. I just wish you had fought harder. Peace.

So in summation:

1) Yes voters compare this TA with the old contract.

2) No voters compare this TA with current market.

Not that it matters as most have already voted.

Thats not true and just completely wrong. I voted no and was vocal why. We still have a lot of work rules only others could wish to have in a contract. Don't vote yes or no because NK. Vote no because F9 Management will screw you guys again!!!

Yes voters also have the unbiased yet totally biased calculator of D00M.

One could say that equally about the NO voters. DOOMed to perpetual reserve as a lineholder, DOOMed to the bottom of the industry forever, DOOMed to be abused by the whims of the company, etc etc.
