40+ minutes on hold waiting for scheduling to discuss picking up an open time trip only to end up with voicemail...


Dear Spirit management,

^^^THIS is why people don't help.^^^

Love,

Your favorite Low-Tier Bus drivers.


Right now F'n bankruptcy would seem preferable to trying to make a living on Spirit wages.

 

Tickets still available? I'd love to make spirit a career stop but they obviously don't want it to be and the NMB hasn't quite come around to the idea yet so I guess it's time to take my services elsewhere. I will NEVER ratify anything less than industry standard compensation for an industry standard job. NEVER!

Stall all you want spirit. Our resolve is stronger than ever and we will either get hired out of this pile or wait for the NMB to release us however long that takes. Of course you could actually come to the table with industry standard this week as we have proposed (the whole thing) and we can get started on making this airline amazing. My guess is you would rather watch it slowly burn just to spite us. Smart.

 

^^^What he said.^^^

 

NOT!! It's more like triple time.

 

Scheduling was desperate enough to call me back despite the less than polite voicemail I left them so I'll now be crediting 53:41 over the next 5 days.

Financial crisis averted, at least for another month.

Thanks for the info everyone!

 

You've been talking about taking your services elsewhere for years now. Hope you know no one takes your internet rhetoric seriously. You're in for the long haul no matter what happens.

 

Meh, Thats not true. Hes def is not the type to talk and not execute. I certainly dont fault anyone for hanging out until we get a T/A though.


And Bob said we'll have one next week so just remain patient err'body

 

The Southwest tickets for the Sept 30 meet and greet went bye-bye in a heartbeat and a half.

Can we even fill classes?

 

Interviewing and hiring on the spot at the ACY meet n greet today.

 

I can't tell you how many times I've called them back after a missed call for JRM to find out I'm #6 in line so I hang up.

After the summer meltdown of 2015, their big fix was to get the new phone menu that allows you to select current day vs next day, hotel issues vs other issues etc. Hey management: I hope you know that nobody selects the "next day" option because all the current day callers just hop in front of you. You could literally be on hold indefinitely. Once again our management has spent money on a stupid idea that doesn't work. I am so sick of hearing "please listen closely as the menu has recently changed", when it hasn't changed in over 2 years.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The lack of staffing and experience (mostly because of turnover) in crew scheduling is the reason for every meltdown this company has experienced. It is so obvious yet it hasn't been fixed. Things like this scare me the most about this company.
