Default Contract progress

I know this might be unpopular but...

I’m thinking the company may be getting desperate. I’ll reserve my judgement until the October meeting but I feel like the writing is on the wall.

Spirit stock price is rising and I think they would like to sell some of Frontier soon. The markets are also getting more vulnerable. I understand PE funds extremely well and they need a contract from us before they can sell. They always try to demoralize the workgroup before hand in order to secure the best price. (Aka sign a mediocre contract)

Don’t forget the leverage is on our side my brothers and sisters. Together we can undo there damage and build a strong airline. Just remember it’s us that holds the key.


Comments.

We’re only cancelling half of vacations, once we hit constantly 100% you’ll know that they’re starting to feel it. They figured out a way to cheat the system with an extra 6-12 month bandaid.

Our contract was written for a fairly friendly management team. I'm excited to learn all the new "reinterpretations" that our current team comes up with, starting with the new word "reroute".

They really like that new word. And when you’re telling paragraphs and numbers explaining the contract violation they are committing... next words out of their mouths is “are you refusing to fly?”

Reroute. Yup, that’s new. I guess the question is, why did you answer the phone?

Good point and I do have to read up more on when we have to call them back. (Middle of a trip, not on rsv)

Contractually, Never. Having said that there might be a reason you would want to.

It’s a problem for them and leverage for us. They admitted as much in the infamous poke the bear letter (that we aren’t required to call back). Don’t take my word for it, just read the letter.
