Are the early open discussions solely focused on a TA or are they also talking about a mou for the short term?


We only know what the Union tells us.

Only airbus? I would want to include Southwest and other Boeing operators.

Except he makes more sense than you do. I’m guessing an AIP in 90 days or less.

Just one of the many examples against everyone's "shortage will fix everything quickly" line of thinking.

After 2 years in formal Section 6 negotiations without "any meaningful headway" Southwest Airline's pilot union has voted in favor of federal mediation. - From Thursday

We have people leaving Spirit for SWA, not the other way around. People are not leaving SWA for legacy carriers the same rate they are here. So SWA's stagnation isnt comparable. A better comp for us are the regional airlines, which like us, are stepping stones currently.

Our management is pretty close to the worst, but they are most certainly *not* inept. They're extremely ept. Like it was said, just look at what happened 5 years ago. I'll save you the boredom of yet another soapbox.

This is true coming from a regional pilot.

This is verbatim coming from a current Spirit FO who has a CJO with Delta to me. “Just come to Spirit and get the type rating. The training pay and first year pay is crap, but you’ll get picked up by a major in your first year anyway.”

I’d go to frontier to get the type and an increase in pay for the time you’re there….. but that’s just me.

What's the impression that with these negotiations, the training pay will be fixed?
