Default Spirit MEC Emergency Relief

Please contact your status reps and let them know your opinion (displeasure) regarding the emergency relief granted to section 12 & 25 of our contract for the next 5 days. This is critical to the future of our company and negotiations. All in the name of good faith and a "promise" NK management will "not soon forget this." Unbelievable

Ackerman is in upgrade training. I'm sure he is concerned. He should not have supported relief for a self imposed melt down.

Why not just open the floodgates for 200%? Now the company can recover at a discount on our backs.

Translation: Grab a jet! We'll let ya know when yer done! And... You get straight pay for getting screwed! Kinda like our FA's! So much for the CBA.....

I'm sure there's much more to come. Hooray! Straight 117 is finally here! Your only recourse to avoid discipline is to call in fatigued. I guess Ackerman and his MEC couldn't get the Feds to waive that provision.....

It's gonna be a long slog boys and girls.

How about no more agreements until we have a new contract. Get it done! Especially an agreement where we get NOTHING in return! Everyone working these next 5 days should get 200% at bare minimum....get SOMETHING! Unbelievable......

True that.

Translation # 2:

Mgt: " Our decision to outsource every non contract employee and our failure to plan has created an emergency. Therefore, we need the pilots to bail us out. At a discount! Less Money, More Go, Go,Go!!!!"

So much for getting a new contract on time, or at all.... Why should they? They can just go begging to the MEC and get the goodies, and create emergencies whenever they want.

What exactly does the company have relief from in your contract? How's it being applied? Are you getting 150-200% for all extra work.

It's a little scary knowing that some guys on the MEC with coercion from the company can side-step the contract.

Was this the MEC being recalled or the new one voted in?

These are the new guys. They want to have an "Employer- Employee relationship".

I guess this is our 5 year strike anniversary present.....
