I think they let it get too far off the rails to have premium pay work. They need to start that early and aggressively. They need to start cancelling early and aggressively. Instead they waited until no one knew where anyone was and everyone was timing out out of position. Management should see the signs of a melt down and take action then. Not when we’re already deep into it.
There has been very little open time the last couple days that was unable to be covered with rsv. They just keep canceling

Unless there is some ransom ware or denial of service attack that we don’t know about, scheduling ought to be able to deal with 1500 pilots emailing them or texting them fairly easily. Being on hold for four hours - or having an email go without reply for a day is simply unacceptable.

The only thing that gets me in my time here is the poor training of ground personnel ( not their fault) and the lack of staffing. Prior to this there were little things I would have considered frustrating but ultimately just amplified because of who spirit is and or the reputation and that i work here and a professional when working as well..
I can honestly say from the lack of communication from management and the apparent buried head in the sand attitude that I'll now be applying elsewhere. Again. Seems that this is also shared by people in my new hire class and at least 2 captains..

All talk. In the end, 90% or more will still be here as long as there is an airline. Just like our passengers. They will keep coming back.

Poor training? How much do they need to throw a bag and empty a poop truck? If you're still throwing bags in your 30s, 40s and 50s you're lazy. It's a choice and there is ample opportunity out there. Stop making excuses for people. In some cases it's not their fault, but in many it is absolutely their fault. This melt down lies squarely on management and their lack of staffing. They're paid to make this work and they have failed.
Good luck in your future pastures.

Gnd personnel including gate agents etc. And yes it's a management issue. Not giving people the correct tools (also including training) or manpower to get the job done.
