I was wondering what everyone thought about the latest email. I think it is a smart move to get some better pay rates now in case we don’t finish the whole contract by the time a JCBA starts negotiations. But there sure are some scheduling issues I wish we could address. Namely the reserve grid as well as a few other aspects.

^^^^^^…..gets it. CK will write an email explaining how a 2% raise and Flica committee is a great deal during President Spongebrain $hitpants 8% inflation and this gullible group will vote it in 60/40 at least. Just hope there are bigger balls on the Spirit side of it all happens.

That’s the Cliffs notes version. You are fully up to speed.

They could add some provision like no in-base layovers and the company has a dozen other ways to make the pairings miserable that ALPA doesn’t know about yet. Meanwhile $450/hour sounds pretty nice.

Our pairings have gone to GARBAGE, and our pairings are our QOL.

I agree that there are a dozen ways to make our pairings worse that out NC won’t see coming. If only there was a group we could join who has experience in airline contracts and has been negotiating them for 90 years…
