And when I say "future" I don't just mean the next contract.
#1 on my list would be to see if, because labor is substantively cheaper than first thought, we might turn this into real leverage in the upcoming PBS negotiations.

Just confirmed... no new hire classes until September at earliest. New aircraft coming in will be used as spares for operational reliability. Upper mgmnt really concerned over performance the last 6 months.

With Spirit blowing everyone away with their on time performance, we now stand alone. Like an outhouse.

So, a 3 month break in hiring during the summer.
Isn't that exactly what we did the last 2 years?
Im sorry for the guys in the pool who got shafted here, but I'm confident hiring will resume at a brisk pace and you guys will do well
