Default When is the STRIKE VOTE!!!

BF tells investors they plan a cost neutral or cost saving contract.

TC gives a three hour presentation of lies to the mediator on how our proposal that has been vetted as affordable will bankrupt the airline.

WHEN IS THE STRIKE VOTE ALREADY??!!!

I was told recently it is coming and to be patient...

On another note - it was nice to see the truck at BDL on the FLL chat.

Strike vote doesn't mean anything on the first offer from the company. It's an initial offer. The company knows their proposal would NEVER pass a vote. A strike vote happens when negotiations stall.

It wasnt their first offer!!!! That was a year and a half ago!

He just told investors that they are negotiating a cost neutral contract. That sounds stalled to me! An impasse is when we get to go on strike, the vote needs to be now!

Negotiations stalled a long time ago. Time for the strike vote...We are losing money everyday. The only thing that will make it up is FULL retro pay.
Let's roll!

Yep, you're right. Nothing is taking place in these sessions. They go in and have a game of cribbage and then laugh on the way out the door at our paychecks.

Bob and Bendo can say whatever they want. That doesn't reflect what happens at the table.

Billboard truck in BDL.

"New city. No new contract."
"Spirit pilots want a new contract NOW!"

Sitting out by the airport, occasionally drives in front of the terminal.
