You explicitly INDORSED the tactic of screwing first year guys to drive down their quality to extort the company into paying the non-newbies more to ALLOW the company to pay the newbies a better salary.
That is just WRONG on so many levels, from professionalism and pilot group unity to safety to just basic morality.
Denying what you CLEARLY STATED is almost as reprehensible as stating it to begin with. Unless, perhaps, it reflects a little embarrassment that you actually said it to begin with. Even then you ought to be man enough to OWN IT, and admit that you were wrong to indorse it.

Wow, so nice to see guys getting fired up about the contract and negotiations! Hope to see y’all out there when we’re picketing in 2025!
Fact of the matter is we got what we deserved! Unity and event attendance was abysmal! Most apathetic bunch of pilots out there! A recall should’ve taken place as soon as the TRO hit. We lost all our leverage after that! Not only did we sell first year guys down the road, we also sold current and future reserve guys down the road! Bendo played us perfectly! Hats off to him!
SWA, JETBLUE... all had guys pulling and fighting in the same direction! Event participation was off the charts! But hey, we got 40 guys out of 300 to show up at a picket event and guys that couldn’t put on a freaking lanyard!

Where were you guys at the picketing event where 40 Spirit guys showed up? The contract road shows in FLL that had 10 people show one day, conference calls with low participation...etc
Apathetic as hell.
You guys want industry leading or industry standard pay? Start putting in industry standard participation in the process.
How many first year guys making $38.50/hr were picketing at the events, demanding a living wage for those hired after them? Not many.
Until this group gets off its collective butts, it won’t change. Accept it or change it, this is a fact.

Absolutely agree! I was sad to see so few people at the picketing events.
