You fixed nothing. First year doesn’t get a bump unless every year gets a bump. That’s the benefit of our contract vs Frontier, management can’t arbitrarily change first year to suit their needs at the neglect of the other pilots.
You have to bump them all!!

I dont see what is stopping Ted and the SAVE BoD from giving an LOA outside of section 6 to match b6 payrates, or just saying “here’s a 3 year contract extension with a B6 payrate snap up clause” and calling negotiations a day. Not like he cares what happens at this point. And I doubt that’s against the covenants of the merger agreement.

Not arguing one way or another just passing the words that were told to me. “We left first year pay up to the company. It’s their recruitment tool to do with as they please.” But I wasn’t there so…

You are correct. But they can only get very close to second year pay and are not allowed to exceed it. They are starting to run outta room there pretty quick in which case everybody will have to get a raise. Once the pay goes up it can’t go down.

Screw any scenario which the company can attract more people without addressing the entire shortfalls of the pay structure.

As a Spirit pilot, the only leverage we have is first year pay can’t be moved short of us agreeing to move it, which won’t happen unless it’s a raise for everyone. Allowing the company to slide first year pay just under second year pay is a loser for the pilots on the seniority list. Because guess what, after you get hired and start second year pay, you get a buck raise and still will leave for a legacy. I know you didn’t write the policy, but it’s a win for the company.

But as I have said before, I would be very open to an LOA that puts new hires at 72 guarantee during training and health insurance, not as a stop gap for attrition but because it’s the right thing to do.

yup. I already "paid my dues" but I dont wish it upon anybody else. Our training pay is criminal.
