Relax people, the money is coming. Ted is smartly trying to get all he can from the govt then will accept whatever terms it ends up being. Negotiating 101. He’s playing hard ball, doubt it’ll get us anything better than the other airlines but it’s worth a shot to ask.

we’ll likely end up taking the same deal allegiant and frontier did and adjust the schedule we needed. Ted even said this in the town hall that we would adjust as required by the cares act.

Spirit has never done anything like all of the other guys. Why would they start now?

You’re saying Ted didn’t accept the very first offer passed across the table?

Huh.

101 you say?

Interesting...

Well, you are probably right. Ted and his team certainly duped us and ALPA in our last contract negotiations. We are still finding out about little gems in our contract.

While I am NO fan of Teds, the only people who were “duped” in the last contract are the people who didn’t read the whole thing before voting for it.

lol, ok, don’t really want to thread drift, but I think we were backed into a corner by the company suing us and the NMB walking away to focus on other labor groups which forced us into voting or we could still be on ice now. Certainly glad our contract isn’t amendable anytime soon.

They would have to burn through a lot of cash first and exhaust a lot of other avenues.
