Airline Pilot Central Forums

Not sure why people think so low. People are leaving Spirit to go fly wide body aircraft. Our pay needs to be in line with wide body pay at a major. This is how we make our legacy.

You mean empty the trash. I wouldn’t call what they do cleaning. Our planes are gross

Ugh. Are these the guys we will be working with soon?
Let me guess, “we are a team”. “Family”

Be a pilot, stop being custodial services

Don’t worry. He’s an extreme minority, and I think he’s still new. The union has been clear: professional pilots don’t clean airplanes. It’s a bad look. Want to help out FAs? Go buy them coffee or lunch or something while they clean. Don’t clean airplanes.

anyone at b6. Used to get bad looks from fa but they don’t care anymore.

Yeah, no disagreements there. Our gates are always filthy, too. Even so, the point is that they pay people to do that job, the FAs don't do it.

Amen to that! Just remember to explain to the FAs that coffee comes in two flavors, "regular and decaf"!
