Default The TA Road Show video is now online!

Everyone should check it out if you haven't made it to a road show. There are two sections, the slide presentation and the Q and A portion. There is lots of great information and good questions posed to to NC. Get informed before you vote.

Most on here won’t watch it, they’re not interested in facts.

You are absolutely right on that. 34:45into Q&A video should be really thought about.

For those who didn't look it up like I did, it's Paul S. talking about if this is voted down, the NMB will be in no hurry to get us back to the bargaining table. We could be on our current contract for a very long time. And the NMB is not on our side. It would be a substantial amount of money, benefits, and scope protection lost during that time. Not good.

Did Paul S. happen to mention what Spirit Airlines motivation will be to get us back to the table after proclaiming to Wall Street that it needs a new contract that...

"will gain tools that will allow us to further improve our operational reliability and drive efficiencies, which gives us confidence that we will be able to maintain or grow our relative cost advantage."

Why are so many of you vocal yesses also heathens? Really helps get your point across to use the Lord’s name in vain. Since you’re obviously really into APC now I’ll catch you up. Sooner9 first trolled his way in here asking about pay then stated he couldn’t do it because his job pays more. A year later he’s again interested because our first year pay is about to blow up.

It locks in labor rates, reduces amount of total pilots, and allows them to order more aircraft. Spirit will be able to recover from IROPs in a more timely manner, like every other airline. They can continue to offer the cheap fairs that Spirit is known for.

Gotta love the “Burn it down” mentality.

Would it make you feel better if the company lied?

The company got a lot of things that they needed to run a large airline, they certainly didn’t get everything they wanted. What they got, cost them.

From the LAS road show video, it seems RES drops was the casualty of May and the NC wasn’t happy about it.

Difference is he was the one that’s been sitting across from Management and the Mediator for the last 30 months. Not you. But you know better. Interesting.
