Edit: I know the answer, just posting this in hopes of bringing some y'all back down to earth since your opinion in this doesn't hold any weight anyway

Yes, I think you missed the part where they are discussing that as SAVE shareholders they are submitting their shareholder votes.

I get that, but we're talking about a minuscule percentage of shareholders here.

71.12% of SAVE is held by institutions. They pretty much have all of the say in this.

But hey, if pilots want to buy a few stonks and pretend like their vote actually holds a sizeable weight, then by all means..

Their individual votes matter about as much as anyone’s individual vote in a presidential election. Doesn’t mean you just don’t do it and/or can’t voice how you voted, despite it having no material impact on the outcome.

She also has the potential to make more than a captain at NK or F9.... B6 has the most potential to level the playing field.

LOL Email your NC and tell them you want to adopt Spirit's bidding system, scheduling flexibility and beable to drop to zero without tradeboard, also the ability to pickup in any base with no restrictions. Spirit is a place that is good for everybody, you can work as much as you want or as little as you want and be home or run a side business, etc We can do the same with a JCBA AND still get pay increases! WIN WIN for everybody. I also recommend keeping the X/Y list on days off, you will be called anyway as the pilot shortage continues.

This is great if you want to make money, but if you dont want to make 200% then you can simply not list for it and stay home with the kids and take the boat out. We have the best of both worlds
you gotta simmer you jimmies there bud. I dont know what base your in but I'm lucky if I can drop a single trip, especially if they even come close to touching a weekend.

Of course i agree with your point that it should be POSSIBLE in the JCBA, even if its not probable.

I’m not voting for the two major candidates “Yes” or “No”. I’m gonna do a write-in and go with United Airlines.

just kidding, but I’m so confident I’m gonna go ahead and start to order my blue shirt.

Bullseye! American and Delta both posted Q1 profits, and that was with both of their prime revenue generators (Business travelers and international flying) still very depressed.
