Yes. But telling our future coworkers they aren't welcome because you don't agree with our HR's programs is petty and unprofessional.

Management knowing that there's a clock on the contracts at G7 and that time is running out, needs a carrot to staff it to the end?

"Pilots already on property will need to do a Talent test first and possibly a small interview with a Spirit representative."

So, not a true flow then. More comparable to the Endeavor deal. Pass a test...pass some type of interview...and hope to be selected.

And Spirit gains a source of pilots with which it can staff its operation, further hampering Spirit ALPA's efforts to win leverage in contract negotiations.

Lols coming from a bus driver who makes some of the worst averages in the industry. How does it feel to know your peers are literally making double of what you make for the same routes and equipment? Talking down on RJs, you're in the same boat buddy. You can go to Spirit, I'm okay with flying my RJs till I get a call from a real company.

I spent 8 years flying for the regionals myself so I know what it's like.
