He made it to one of the big 4 airlines who's W2 earnings embarrass us, badly. They also have a corporate vision for their future that doesn't involve pillaging their employees earnings and bragging about slowing growth to a snail's pace to reward the executive management and shareholders.
He'll be laying over in Hawaii while you're in STI again.
JUST. BE. HAPPY. FOR. THE. GUY!

Don't listen to the corporate recruiting machine, he either doesn't know the truth or is spinning. I'm not sure which.
We still have a long hard fight ahead of us with a very determined opponent. And even when it's done, well, let's just say, did any of us think Spirit's TA could possibly be this bad???
Congratulations. You KNOW what you now have, don't listen to the company spin.

Congratulations! All we need is for some guy who just left to snail mail Robin, the Board of Directors, and all investors directly telling them why you left, echoing all the issues many have identified on APC. If we want change, it's things like this that need to be done.
The truth of the matter is that the *only* power BJ pilots have is the physical act of going on strike. "Negotiations" are not yielding results.
In any case, I'm really happy for you. I have several friends at LUV and their pilots fight hard for their benefits and QOL. Their pilots seem to be very good at fighting for their benefits and compensation. In fact, a senior LUV pilot has been my mentor regarding industry politics. He coined the phrase "paid what you're worth" and I can't think of a better slogan for compensation.
