Your cynicism is unbelievable. What do you have to worry about anyhow??? The more they stall, the more they'll have to pay up when everyone else keeps on getting new / better contracts, and more win for you. Just think, the ask will skyrocket!!

If you need the higher income NOW to qualify for a mortgage or something, no problem brother. Just show your broker the Delta rates and tell them that's basically what you've been making for 2 years now, the company is just saving the difference for you in an retro account and that you will see an $300K retro check in about 2 years so all you really need is an interest only loan.

Live it up brother!!

Talk all you want. Not violating the TRO at all by my witness. But don't come on here comparing us to the NWA mechanics that Bendo successfully broke. That's not an accurate depiction of our group and I simply suggested you knock it off.

I hear ya, y'all shouldn't vote yes on anything, even if they offer legacy standard pay without any work rule concessions, if they're not paying interest on that 400K. I mean, that's some serious $$$!!!

Thank you for not quoting him.

Here's an idea
 
Everybody says "thank you" to the NC but yet fail to follow their advice about staying off of social media. Why is it so hard for people to follow simple suggestions by the group (NC) you all just cheered??

Talk about it in person but STAY OFF THE DAMN BOARDS

Douglas9 09-11-2017 06:38 PM

Seriously? At least $2k was wasted to snail mail this incredible proposal to every pilot! I want my holiday and birthday email cards snail mailed now!

You win the internet today - lol :D

This management team has argued with us over every little thing in our current contract. Language that is black and white, that they agreed upon, is always being "interpreted differently" by them. Of course the way they interpret it always gives us the short end of the stick. Then we grieve it, and eventually we win a court ruling in our favor and the company is forced to stop. So then they find something else to "interpret differently". Let's just say we all have little faith and ZERO trust in our leaders. I have no doubt that pbs, when used properly, is not a bad system... but this is Spirit management we are talking about.

So when the company points out all the other airlines that have pbs and use it successfully, I'd like to respond with the words of our CFO: "yeah, but they run a good airline".

I'm guessing Spirt Management hasn't seen the price tag on PBS in regards to the implementation of PBS.
Lol

It's not the PBS they want, it's the delay they achieve by demanding it they're after.

I sure as crap didn't thank them. What the hell are you talking about.

I do appreciate they did a job I didn't want and probably did better at it than I could have. But there are others who would not have been slapped by a TRO and still other who could have fought the TRO and won. We could have done better. And deserve way more.

LTD, profit sharing, medical, retro. It's all totally inadequate. Work rules are going to crap too.

Now we are left with a shi! sandwich. These morons gave away transition!? And they agreed to the retro!? Am I living in a bad F'n nightmare.

Kiss my you know what if you get ****ed I'm posting in public. I called it months ago. We should have replaced this group of players with new ones a year ago.

Now what are we going to do? Thanks a lot Obama.

They can't staff the airline with pilots with no strike.

Can't management find a better spokesman than you?

RELAX! Nothing is getting voted on. You're playing right into their hands. All worked up over nothing. Union has it covered, they've got a plan. Do you really think ALPA was sitting there thinking Bendover was going to work out a deal? They knew that was going to happen. Sit tight. Let the game play out.

Ed Force One 09-19-2017 06:09 PM

Nobody gave away anything.

This was a proposal by the company.

A blatant stalling attempt. (That seems to be working)

The union said "We're not even going to humor their proposal by showing it to the pilots."

The only reason you saw it was because Bendo thought he could sow discord between us, other employee groups, and our families, by figuratively slipping it under our doors in the night.

Stick to non-public forums and/or personal conversations about how we are proceeding/should be proceeding/will be proceeding in response to the lack of contract progress and otherwise Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform.

Publicly debating company-placed trolls and others who only purpose is to bait us into stupid comments and sow discontent is moronic but it would seem that we have a not insignificant faction of morons in our ranks.

Cal Naughton Jr 09-19-2017 07:09 PM

Exactly. Call your rep or a P2P guy. Participate in the "all calls" and polling. Don't negotiate on a public forum and ignore the trolls.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Post of the year. It never ceases to amaze me the number of idiots we have that just suffer from lack of attention or were dropped on their head as a baby.
Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform you idiots. These forums should be a ghost town, yet you attention hoes can't help yourself.

Instead of asking on an unsecured/anonymous chat board--today is the perfect day to have that questioned answered with the pilot call. It may not be secured, but at least you will get an answer from the source--the NC members.....Of course with 6 total posts, im sure you are trolling

Agreed. They are the keepers of the info. Always have been. And you know what they've always been late on? Pressure on the company. Where's the vote of no confidence? Where's the readable billboards? Newspaper ads? It's always a half measure that doesn't do crap. Where is the plan?
I listens to the first call. No plan. Now, survey? You've got to be kidding me. These guys are out of ideas. We need new thinking.

That’s an illlegal work action. You’re some sort of special moron. You will hopefully be banned from the site because of your moronic statements.

This pilot does not work for Spirit and no Spirit pilot would advocate an illegal work action such as mentioned by this lost soul. This poster obviously ate lead paint chips as a child and seems to be lost.

Full disclosure... I'm not a Spirit pilot.

That said, what specifically is an illegal work action? Billboards? Legal. Vote of no confidence? Legal. Newspaper ads? Also legal. This is assuming the TRO you guys are under doesn't specifically address these issues.

FYI, the TRO doesn't basically says we as a pilot group can't have a concerted effort on sick outs, not picking up open time, mx write ups. etc.
We cans still do all that you mentioned above.

What is the current status of your mediation with the NMB? Additional sessions being scheduled? Have the sessions been iced until further notice?

NOTE: Just looking for facts distributed by your MEC. I DO NOT mean to start another conversation of opinions or public negotiation; as your MEC has plead over and over to refrain from doing so on this forum.
