Not picking up open time, has nothing to do with a work action!
The vast majority of Spirit pilots are not willing to work for these substandard rates. That's all! Some make more money at home, compared to the amount of time spent commuting, waiting at the airport and for hotel vans. Management trying to throw it back at the pilot group, is another attempt to vilify, while not taking any responsibility. We are just fed up with the treatment and pay and do not feel like working overtime, nothing illegal or wrong with that. |

If each cancel costs an average of $50k and they average 10 a day for crew, that equals $182.5 million per year. Giving each pilot a $100,000/ year raise would cost the company $160 million. What was their full year profit in 2016? |

Agree with you however they will probably pursue legal action and arguably have grounds to when looking at performance before and after. IMO that will just further inflame the relationship between us and them ultimately exacerbating the situation for themselves. Could be a short term win for them but a long term catastrophic failure. |

Read on: US Airways Wins Preliminary Injunction Against Pilots in Slowdown Fight - Random Segments Pilots can not be forced to work on days off. If management is having trouble covering flights, guess the they should hire/ upgrade more pilots. Why would anyone want to work more than required for 50% of industry standard pay? My time at home with my family, is far more valuable than 50% of industry standard compensation. |
