Company moves
Company is making it clear where expectations should be, with the gojet email today. Time horizon is at least 1 year for the "pilot pathway program", meaning they expect to be able to meet hiring requirements with flow-through no later than a year from now. Like our shortened training program, we're going to do flow-through in one or two years where it takes "legacy carriers" "six or more years", according to the email.
Now, for the management of expectations, they're also telegraphing their perspective regarding anything remotely "industry standard" with the contract, because we are "different". Here is the relevant paragraph from Rodosta:
Namely, this place will never have industry standard compensation, and we're going to deal with the hiring issue caused by low compensation by having a 1-year flow-through from gojet. Anyone coming here needs to understand that "the ULCC model" precludes a contract or compensation anywhere near what other A320 pilots receive flying the same planes over the same routes.
Good timing for company mgt to set expectations, exactly 1 week before our last mediated negotiation session begins. Once again its official, discount pilots are part of the business model and as Ryan stated in the above quote, anyone coming or remaining here needs to be ok with that.

We will continue our search for motivated and skilled aviators to join us at Spirit Airlines. We are building a different kind of an airline and our focus remains on attracting aviators who understand the ULCC model and realize that their success is deeply entwined in the success of our model. While there are many openings in the legacy airline ranks and more to come in the years ahead, not every pilot will wish to have a career with them. Some will choose Spirit as their career destination of choice, just as some of us have.

No way Ryan wrote that email and I have to laugh at how much of a pu*** jyri is by not signing his own name to that dribble. They only need 51% and they know they're not even close. The timing and content sure look like a move of desperation.

What makes them think that gojet can fill classes and will have enough people on their seniority list to maintain operational integrity while sending people off to Spirit. Also of the desperate few that go to gojet why would they want to flow to Spirit unless they don't have a degree or have a DUI or 2. If I was at a regional building 121 TPIC I would rather network and wait for a major to call then take a paycut because I like Spirit's business model.
