Does Spirit Airlines pay the company portion of the pilot's health insurance coverage while the pilot is out on LTD? Thanks.

This is coming from someone that often bids rsv on purpose.



.

And the reason you’re not as upset about reserves is because you bid it voluntarily. I have lived in reserve/relief line (depending on the month) for the last two years with not much end in sight given the 4 a month upgrades. Loss of reserve drop is a terrible qol hit for me.

We will NEVER get RES drops or any of our QOL we willingly gave up, enjoy your 1/6 Retro!

March 2018 was an epic fail:

NC negotiating while on a TRO, where was ALPA national?

They should have been relieved of their duties based on that alone!

Negotiating scared and tired, gets to be too much for anyone.

I don't blame the NC, they did their best, but were outclassed.

They walked out of the deal in November 2017, when Bendo threw the PBS MOU the last minute.

What changed between then and March? We voted on that same proposal+PBS!

Anyone that has some time in this industry knows that the vote on the first offer is ALWAYS NO!

Subsequent offer will no doubt be an improvement.

Even timing was terrible. Who signs in March?

Wait till high season, starting June to Sept and hit them when it hurts.



Lessons learned, hopefully!


Best post on here, spot on.

Don’t kid yourself, I’m pretty ****ed about our rsv section. I just don’t think the NC didn’t care about rsv qol. And while I do have the option to bid off of it I will probably continue to bid it most months. I also never once checkerboarded. The loss of drop was huge because I prefer to use the majority of my vacation as float. Guess what float is? It’s a drop transaction.

It’s fine to be angry but that post is factually incorrect.

What part of the post is incorrect? I see somethings that are opinions but I happen to agree with them.

You can reference post #30 on page 3.

A couple huge things changed between November and March. That’s fact. We didn’t just go back and settle on the company’s last offer.

Things did change for sure, but I still feel like we did settle
