What worries me is how much the rest of the company seems to hate the flight/cabin crews. Everyone is looking for someone to blame.

BTW "happy with the current contract" doesn't jibe with "fully expect gains". I just wish I knew enough to know who to vote for.

I do think there are areas for improvement, hopefully these issues are just growing pains. It is time for this company to begin acting like a real airline. Sometimes I feel that my past regional was more professional at times, but then I realize that there will be issues with most companies.

On a more positive note, our next 320 is on the way from France!

Sure it does. I guess a better way of putting it is I'm not completely disgusted with the current contract and will be looking forward to gains come 2015

Thread bump. Anybody?

With the growth Spirit is experiencing, I think LAS could be had relatively quickly. Maybe three months out of training at the longest. You may be on reserve for quite awhile though, but even that's relative. A long time on reserve at Spirit is a blink of an eye compared to the rest of the majors.

Looks like 7 people will get LAS right out of training on the December award.
