Agreed; lets not get blinded by a pay increase and forget scope, long term disability and retirement. Widebody ULCC across the pond is on the horizon and we don't want to be code-sharing it all away without anything in return. We need to keep as many Aces as we can for future negotiations and arbitration down the road.

Be advised, big discussion yesterday that first years were being told there was lots of extra flights to pick up and lots of extra money around. Looks like that is old news and in the last year vast majority of new hires didn't break out of the 20's. Be sure to plan on getting min of 72hrs pay each month and budget that. There is absolutely NO REASON for a new hire to come to Spirit unless he/she lives in base and wants lots of time off and doesn't care about pay.

Livable for who? someone with no kids and lives like a Walmart greeter. Second year pay is less than half of flying the same AC at any of the big 4. Plus look at soft pay and benefits. When you factor that in your at about 35% of the big 4. Its more than the hourly rate.

I make no excuses about the pay, its being negotiated, but how much less are you flying those mainline routes for on your RJ, compared to the 737s that were on them before?
The pay sucks now but I would be the work rules are a whole lot better than the regional you fly for. I doubt you even make more than the ridiculous $72 we pay our second year guys

Yes, but who typically has vacation in the summer? If they cancel the senior people's vacation, it will only unite this group further. Hopefully they learned that last time when they try to take away the four days off. Even the most loyal senior people turned against them. Hopefully their memories are long enough to remember that.
