I read the TA and I said NO way.
Then I watched the ALPA video and realized that there is so much more that we giving up. So i voted today, HELL NO.
Spirit Airlines is going to have a unbelievable cost advantage over the competition.

What a terrible thing to work for a company that has a future to grow and don’t forget that provides long term stability for you and your family.

Ok...you do work for Spirit Airlines, right? Based on the TA presentation by the NC and ALPA financial data, our cost advantage diminishes greatly with this deal. Sure, I wanted industry standard across the board, but working for a financially healthy company is important too. Those raises do you no good if the company can’t survive or grow. No, I’m not management or a kool-aid drinker so save the comments. I’m looking at this TA logically, and it’s mostly a win for us.

Do you honestly believe significant gains will be made on TA2? Enough to offset the money lost by not having this thing ratify? I seriously doubt it. I’d be willing to bet my entire signing bonus check on it. I’m not thrilled about this TA either, but I have not heard one reasonable argument about the path forward if this thing gets shot down.

I’ve heard a lot of senior guys say the biggest reason why they are voting NO is that they don’t want the junior guys to have to suffer through the “terrible” reserve language. None of the junior guys I have talked to give a crap and are ready for a pay raise lol.
