Lol.


CEOs though? $14,000,0000.00 a year to run a **** poor airline? Seems legit

Who is that? Your CEO? In 2016 he earned about $1.3m with another ~$6m tied to stock which is now worth $3m after the drop haha.

In a normal market the underpaid would leave for the better jobs but what has attrition been at Spirit over the last year? On the Frontier side they are seeing very little turnover, despite the hiring at the better carriers.

Well they have a training contract I beleieve.

Attrition is the highest its ever been. WE LOST A 1/3 of the guys we hired in 2017 and training failures are at 8%

At $38/hr that doesn’t surprise me. That is higher than I was expecting though. Damn.

You guys need a raise and pronto, get a short contract and start it again in 2-3 years.

I wonder when the company will start offering bonuses a la the regionals to new FOs?

No doubt we'd see a training contract before a hiring bonus. This place has always been sticks over carrots.

Frank Lorenzo was once asked, "When are you going to pay the pilots more?"

"When you make me," he replied.
