However I can’t believe they’re going to vote Pref Bid in. Omg!

You know the saying at SWA about it.....over my dead body. I hope it treats them well though.
Our line bidding is crap. no purity at all to them

Why? They’re easy pickings. SWA is no longer an LCC.
They also have no way of raising revenue through ancillary streams.

This is just the beginning.

Best of luck Spirit pilots. Vote how YOU see best.
HAHA! I’m reminded of the last airline that Gary Kelly repeatedly stated was getting to be a thorn in SW’s side. Look what happened there.

This industry never ceases to entertain.

in areas that were lacking, ABSOLUTELY.

But saying that Spirit pilots “raised the bar/had industry leading airbus rates” is nothing but bovine scatology.

So as much rectal pain as it may cause, PLEASE don’t tow some false line of that the Spirit pilot group has so much good in that regard.

I apologize if the FACTS cause you butthurt/rectal trauma.

At the end of the day, they’re STILL FACTS.

You’ve obviously never worked under PBS before. The mid-level seniority and junior guys get hosed....bad.

Why is this directed towards me? I'm not the one who said anything about having the best rates or whatever it is that was said. Cause me butthurt (since you quoted me)? No butthurt here, all I asked why are you so concerned with what one Spirit pilot said. If you had such a problem, message the guy, there's no need to include others in your obsession waiting for one person to answer you.

I’m very receptive to outside thoughts but please move this little spat you two have to a private message. You are adding nothing at this point except annoyance. Though I’m not a fan of everything in our current contract, a percentage of our pilots put it all on the line to get it. Not one scab. For you to throw darts at them is pretty low.

You mad bro? Got some butt hurt going on?

Reading comprehension must escape you too.

Not throwing darts at the Spirit Pilots. Just the ONE under the impression that the “bar was raised”. Good enough for you snowflake?

The purity issue could be remedied easily the company chooses not to.

One thing our line bidding is is a big staffing inflator. We will run with less pilots with pbs. Obviously not less than today because we are growing but less moving forward. That could come back to haunt some individuals one day.

Seeing as you have 2.6k posts on here in just a few years I think you need to find a hobby or a friend...... judging by the way you post though I imagine those may be hard to come by. Also, " just responding to WHY you asked? I guess proof reading must escape you too. See how this works?
