1- New contract = more applicants and a more pilots sticking around. Pilots will still leave for AA, DA, FedEx, SWA, UA, and UPS at the same rate.
2- Spirit is an ultra cost carrier, who should they compare them self to, a regional perhaps?
3- Not low cost, ULTRA LOW COST. You are using SWA (no where close to Spirit) but don't want to use JetBlue (much closer to Spirit). Me confused, why???

Here's a solution... You have a good pilot group and a strong union. Unionize your pilot group and strike! Spring Break would be the best time to strike. I mean sh*t guys, regional CRJ200 pilots are making more.. h*ll first year FOs at a regional are making more. ALPA did pretty well for Delta and UA, its your turn, get them to work!!!!!!!

If you get your jollies from trolling the Spirit threads and laugh at our pay, while ignoring yours, thats fine. But it sure reminds me of a fan in the stands at an NBA game, telling an NBA player that he sucks. However, in the end, he is still an NBA player and you are still in the stands. So you can laugh at our pay, its going to go up, how much will yours go up at your regional?

You must be confused, not a CRJ CA nor at a regional. First of all..Yes, the pay is very laughable, sorry! Secondly, ignoring mine? Not sure what you mean by that. NBA comprising is actually pretty clever, however in this case, you're playing single A and I'm at the Majors :-)

- I only hit 9 year pay at a regional.
- Above $108 per hour now.

WoW and Spirit pilots wonder why they can't get a good contract. Torch47x you read that entire post and the only thing you picked up on was "higher". You are one sharp pilot man, good work!

Dear English Profession aka Torch47,

"English bro,learn it." ----> "English bro, learn it." Notice the space? You're one silly pilot. :-)

I guess AA finally called you back after shelving you for a year. Maybe AA can stop holding DAL and UAL back on the Legacy front with pay and benefits...you know, dragging down the Legacy pay rates.

You finally flying a plane with engine mounted wings? Or are you on the MD80?

Not a year, 8 months.. Don't be upset man, Spirit will get there pay up, it will all be okay. HaHa, dragging down the legacy? interesting.. AA sets the bar, Delta goes above, United goes above them, AA is next to negotiate.. my guess is they will top the scale, than DA will top them so on and so on and so.. Wait..What did Spirit do? Oh wait, nothing, still bottom.
MD80, no way, training too hard.

Next year you'll make that magical $100k then. Keep working and learn that airplane. Soon your CAs will let you fly with more leeway and you will feel more comfortable with your flying skills in it.

No possible I can feel upset over this. Ill sleep well tonight knowing that as low as I am paid, ill make double what you will make.

I think I have had enough fun with the troll tonight. Lifer regional at AWAC, finally got hired at AA, first year on the job, and acting like he has it all made. Nighty night...
