No one is forcing you to stay here…. You’re free to leave and go back to your regional then. Enjoy!

That's just the thing. I want to stay here and it would not benefit me at my age or seniority to go anywhere else.

When people like me say things like that, it's because we are fighting for a better contract because this is our careers. We are not interested in chasing greener grass, we want to make our own yard better. For ourselves and the rest of you. So don't tell me to "Go back to my regional" (I can't) or "Go to Delta." Don't you want to make it better for yourselves here too?

Go back and reread what I said… For the poster who compared our CBA to a regional is laughable. I called them on that. I love what Spirit is and have confidence it’ll only get better with the JCBA. I have other options right now but am really leaning towards staying put here.

Dont confuse "wanting to make it better" vs running a fools errand. 69% of us felt this CBA was better than the alternate unknown, 31% felt the other way. But just as youre tired of hearing "go somewhere else," I am tired of hearing "Dont you want to make this place better?"

Do you still actually believe that? With the benefit of hindsight do you still actually believe they wouldn’t have come back to the table with something better?

I promise not to turn this into a HAHA see I told you thing. It seems I don’t fly with that many yes voters, but the one who said he did vote yes straight up told me if he had it to do again he would have voted no… and I hadn’t even told him how I voted.

There’s still a chance something happens. Q1 report says that NEO engine issues and pilot attrition is big factor for our loss. Maybe they offer something else to help stem attrition? Who knows

Nothing else is coming. Only thing they’d do is raise first year pay since we gave that away in our “non-concessionary” agreement.

Show me on the doll where the facts hurt you.

Jeez, what a sensitive little girl you are.

First day on the Internet?

But yeah, I guess cause we're a "major" we shouldn't do things like door closed parking brake release for the clock, 200% holiday pay, automatic 125% for anything over 80 hours, automatic 150% for anything over 90 hours, move reserve days around, etc etc I can go on but my God how dare I want to improve things here...

Can we please get back to the original question of what are the junior bases at Sprit right now? I’m genuinely interested because I may be putting in an app soon.
