Don't hold your breath buddy. It'll be a while before Richard hands over $50/HR + to you guys. He has the cheapest 190 pilots in the industry now. Plus he needs to make the point that you can't vote down a contract and automatically get one better. It won't be the gift you make it out to be to save face here. By that time our Airbus rates will be just fine.
Until then- make sure you wear your hat.

And how much negotiating capital should they have negotiated for a CRJ900/EMB rates back in 2012 for an airplane they didn't have on property? You need to go to bizness skool.

Well, let's burn this place down and hand the keys to you guys! All hope is lost!
Listen, buddy. We're doing our best to get a leading contract. I'm sure we will get a much better deal soon enough. I'm confident that our guys won't ratify anything less. In the meantime, our job is to keep doing our job. Flying from major city to major city is what we do here. We aren't flying passengers on an rj that bought tickets on your website for **** wages. That is where your gripe needs to be.

Really? You are going to bring up rates for an aircraft that isn't on property yet? TA2 my friend, have some patience. Keep updating your app, maybe you will get your call. I can't wait to come back to this thread when TA comes and it tops out at $200 bucks an hour, like the 717 (+15% DC +23% PS). But yeah, I don't get 4 days off between 6 days work blocks.

Good, there you go. Don't sell yourself short. That is the point of all my posts/trolling. Too many guys think its awesome cause Spirit is better than a regional. You are flying 220 seat airplanes with a 20% profit margin. Time to get paid!

I come to work to get paid!
Time to pay up.
Also, let's not forget it was the SPIRIT pilots who last went on strike. I'm pretty confident we have a group here that is willing to fight if need be.

Let's not make this a Delta vs Spirit vs Alaska vs JB..
Full circle from the OP, we need leverage! Having a problem filling classes might get us some.. Until then, it may be a long fight.. Hopefully a unified pilot group type fight!
