Came here just to see if anyone had commented on the email yet...

 

Hmmmm. I still don't feel like working on my days off.

 

Email check, means nothing. Go ride on the backs of those who fly their lines and no more than that. Waiting on decent A320 pay. Your are welcome.

 

I agree. Flying my line. My days off are mine besides, I thought the cancellations are weather related???? 😂

 

Oh I'm scared now! Lawsuit term was just dropped on the union. Who cares. First you have to have a case, the PR machine said it was weather. Now it's the pilots? What's the truth?? I'm under no obligation to go dig Spirit out of trouble. The Company doesn't think the pilot contract is important so I'm using my contractual rights to do other things. See you in June!

 

Hey Bendo,
Your plan of rigging reserve buffer, to prevent us from dropping, backfired. NOT so smart after all.
Incapable of performing your job, you count on us low tier scum to bail you out.
You threaten to sue, because there is no room in our lives, or schedules to accommodate.
Sweet email though, makes it all good.

I'm saving my JAs for later usage, when they will count.

 

If I were a lawyer......................I would be salivating at the notion there would be a lawsuit based on pilots not picking up extra flying on days off. Here's why: It has been voiced on record the reason for the cancellations were due to weather, and some staffing issues. At the same time, the company sends an email to the union claiming something else. That being said, each passenger now has a case of fraudulent and deceptive business practice when they could have been properly compensated with hotel and meal vouchers. Additionally, other items which bore the full and unrecoverable costs from passengers (missed cruises, non-refundable hotel stays, etc) due to staffing and not weather are open for reimbursement. However, claiming the cancellation was due to weather absolves them of all out of pocket expenses.

The court of public opinion could take this and run to the media to show how the public may have a chance to make individual claims, or class action suit.

 

Agreed. Any and all threats of suit against the pilot group should be made public

 

The propaganda machine is spooling up it would seem. Just got word from a friend at another airline that an email went out to their dispatchers warning them to plan all their flights full out of one of our bases because Spirit cancelled a majority of the flights as a result of a "pilot callout".

 

That's rich. They wish this was as simple as a sickout. That would imply this wasn't systemic and everything will be fine next month. LOL
