Standards are a great thing to have. I just think professional pilots doing what WE ALL do should set the bar higher. I don't think that settling for the LCC's is the right thing to do. I've read though some of the Spirit thread, nobody thinks they deserve the legacy wages, I don't see why not? Packed with reasons so settle.

I can only speak for spirit but compare our contract to the all mighty legacy carriers when it was signed. I'll wait....not a whole lot better were they?niw if we sign a sub par contract this year then your points will be fair but until then you can't compare our contract from 2010 to the current legacy pay scales.

I'm at spirit. I want legacy pay. In fact I'm 99% sure almost every post over there says "I want pay parity."
But I guess you missed those huh? Can you ride my Jumpseat and tell me how I should fly too? You are an absolute peach.

Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, Virgin America are really 3%? Nahhhhhhhhhh. Regional mentality where a successful career is based on future growth. Meanwhile, I'm sure a majority of the FO's would leave to a legacy in a heartbeat. Flying around a 220 seat 321 is pretty sweet until you find out you aren't breaking 80k a year. But that tail is so high on the walk arounds, it feels awesome!
NK also negotiated pre all the mergers (i think dl and nwa completed the merge after the contract was signed).
also you are 100% correct that we dont want to get paid more...not.
troll on now

The only thing that hits close to home is a fellow pilot that is so uninformed and spiteful. There's a lot of good experienced pilots here at NK and I'm sure F9 that could bring you up to speed on current and past events so you can have a real conversation with us.

Spirit has tons more head-room to play with, Delta is already playing cards to the market that shows them in a dimmer light.
I have 25 years left, and mark my words, the legacy carriers will Chapter 11 at least twice between now and then and it will be a wash.
Logical?
