….

In the current quarter, Spirit expects pretax margins between negative 1% and positive 1%, citing capacity constraints in Florida.

The company lost $52 million last quarter and are still having issues with Florida. But their plan to displace a huge portion of pilots to Florida still appears to be going forward. (In the last town hall Bendo seemed particularly happy that this is happening) The slow displacement method due to attrition the last few months looked like it was going well. I wonder what the hell they are thinking?

Any idea on how big this rumored new displacment bid is going to be? Will it be better or worse than the one from the spring?

Details to come on the TownHall next week. This will have IAH in it so we will see how the numbers change, speculation is DFW will increase displacements to help IAH get going.

And to think there were a few people who thought the displacement was not going to happen because Frontier is gone. Haha. Silly silly boys.

This company and especially this union continue to crack me up. New email from union today on the Co Base….basically says they don’t agree with what the company is doing, and can’t do anything about it, so we need to just take it in the butt.. glad to see my union dues hard at work. Still have few months left in ORD as big CA

“ The MEC is profoundly disappointed that even while Spirit management admits that the historic rate of attrition is limiting their ability to improve aircraft utilization, they have once again decided to take actions that further degrade the quality of life for our pilots. We encourage pilots with questions about this confounding strategy to point those inquiries directly to Spirit management.”

If you are so disappointed, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT with alll we pay in dues 💩

Good thing we voted the last contract down because of the bad co base language. Wait, I guess we didn’t and agreed to co basing language that has no legs. Union fault or ours? We assumed the only co base option would be ACY and the company wanting to get relief on cobase with PHL. Nobody expected MIA so we left ourselves open.

That was kind of funny, but every major has co-domiciles. It sucks, but it's a part of the job. At least we have a decent geographical limit.

What do you propose they do about it? And be sure to include the legal authority in our contract to do what you propose.

Serious question but other than the usual NY domiciles, where else does anyone have co domiciles? Do others have a FLL/MIA thing too? I feel like the frequency and availability of public transportation in the NY area makes it work. Not so much of that in south FL.

Being as anyone that doesn’t have a choice in their domicile is going to be a NH, which just so happens to be the lowest paid Airbus pilot in the industry, the transition to a co-domicile is going to be painful for NK.

You were obviously never based in an NYC co-domicile. I was for 4 years and can tell you that the public transportation system does not make it work. From the top of my head, Delta and AA do LGA/JFK/EWR as one base, AA has LAX, which includes a few of the neighboring airports, like ONT and SNA (maybe others?). I think AA also does DCA/IAD as a co-domicile, as well. Not sure about United, but it isn't like this is unheard of.

Either way, crying because the company is adhering to the contract that we both agreed to is a bad look from the union.

Upon reading the email, I’m glad management is finally thinking of us and our families.
