Yes but....... anyone who works here and pays attention knows that we will never have profit sharing because for some reason our lazy FA's have a "ME TOO" clause. Before anyone asks, yes Spirit has the laziest FA's in the game and the fact they have a clause like that for anything involving what pilots get is a massive joke. Do rampers or gate agents get that? Nope but I think they bring just as much to the table as a flight attendant does.

Look, I get that the F/As have a “me too clause” but would giving them “the face of the airline” a few grand in profit sharing be so bad? Mgmt played them brilliantly, they made the F/As give up something for a “Me too” clause that mgmt knew they would throw in our faces come negotiations. The icing on the cake for mgmt? The Pilots blaming the F/As for lack of PS, lol.

It ISNT THE F/As keeping us from Profit sharing, its MANAGEMENT

You believe the "Me too clause" doesn't add to their resistance to profit sharing?? Come on. I believe its a big reason and perhaps why management agreed to it in their contract. It makes it much more expensive (difficult) for us to get it

I thought there was a weight limit? So in your example an MRJ or 737 would not be allowed?

Only under 1.E which is aquisition of said carrier and keeping them separate.

Does not apply to CPAs that ive been explained so far

I know how profit sharing works. Wish we had it too.

Sorry didn’t mean to insinuate that you didn’t.

No worries at all. Delta receives their profit sharing checks today I believe. Happy Valentines Day to those guys, huh?

Thing is I(we) don’t negotiate for the FAs. Call it something else, find a work around to the me too. Let the FAs sue the company over it. They want to piggy back on us, let them figure it out.

And even if they got it too, it can’t be that much money considering the pennies they make anyway.

Exactly. I thought a performance bonus would do it but I have heard there isn't much we can do to get around it. Of course I don't know how its written or the legalities of it...

There isn't much we can do? We could vote NO and demand it.

i don't understand, contract 2010 says if other employee groups gets profit sharing/bonus we get the same thing. how come we didn't get included in profit sharing?

FLYBOYMATTHEW 02-14-2018 10:49 AM

What other labor groups have it? They get zero, so "Me Too" gets us zero.
