I bet they will play ball between now and then if cancellations continue to increase and guys don't answer the phone!!!
It's bad cancellations are happening in March...I thought it was going to start happening in April and then it was going to peak in Summer with the company begging for help and a nice golden platter with a TA!

Once you sell your QOL to catch up with DL, UA, and AA, they'll just leave you in the dust again. Then what?


You don't have to surrender having a decent lifestyle just for a mainline paycheck when you can realistically have both if you find your sack and stand your ground...

That's true. If we mimic DL contract. Why stay at spirit. Might as well just go to DL or UA or AA. Widebodies. Intl' layovers. Massive retirements. Growth. More bases. Stable mature company. No brainer to still leave. Any FO would be dumb not to. Spirit needs an incentive. Better than DL since we don't offer what they do (as mentioned above). We'd have to offer more so guys will stay and new pilots will choose Spirit over DL if offered both.

It's going to take more than high fives and a "fit fleet" of parked NEOs
