None for the first three months. Either use COBRA from your last job for a month or get a catastrophic coverage plan for a month and then you have Spirit’s COBRA for the remaining two months. If you get sick you can sign up with a 60 day look back. Don’t get sick and don’t pay a dime. Imperfect work around, but there it is.

You don’t get any for 90 days, it’s an embarrassment and it’s even worse they didn’t fix it in the new ta. Since you would be new if the ta passes you also can’t get on the pos b as it would have to be grandfathered in.

Continental used to have a 6 month waiting period. This is totally LEGAL for the company to do. Does it suck? Yes. Did it affect me? Yes. Should we waste negotiating capital on new hires that aren’t even on property? Or first year guys that can’t even vote? The answer is NO.
Why? It’s up to the company to create attractive first year conditions and recruit new hires. Every dollar spent on first year guys is a dollar that comes off something else. I agree that it’s a distasteful reality, but so is a member voting yes/no based on emotion and not objectivity.

There are an unbelievable number of guys/girls here that will step over you to grab something for themselves. I see it all the time and I’m sure you do too.
