Sorry you guys won’t be able to use Spirit 2018 rates against us as leverage in the SLI or by your management for TPA/JCBA.

Be a good boy and vote in that TA, daddy wants that snap up in the JCBA when we become a happy family. Run along, make it happen.

sorry meant. This is a 2 year deal with a stipulation of right back to the table if b6 falls through. This isn’t a 5 year stuck behind the industry type deal. It might take others a year before a TA, who knows what happens with the economy in the meantime. This contract is crap as a 5 year standard deal but it isn’t. We will be mid cycle now and have great leverage for a JCBA or standalone NK.

Ever? We will never bargain for another contract like it says we have to in two years or when the JB merger fails? Good. It will be easier to prove to a mediator the company isn’t bargaining in good faith and we can get released. I’m also hoping they do raise first year pay, so when we do bargain again that will be the new bottom.

What’s to say year 1 and 2 pay can’t be within 2% of each other as a new standard going forward forever and they treat it the same they did for this new contract? Would that really be a “gain” for us?

Every dollar going to the pilot group raises the bar for the next contract so yeah. Besides, JCBAs have a leverage all their own.

The only way they'll be rushing back to the table in 2 years is to ask for concessions on industry-trailing rates if this merger doesn't happen. This management group has shown they can't run a consistently profitable airline, and somehow that is supposed to justify our underwhelming ask. This could easily be a 5-year deal in the case the merger falters.

your beloved spirit is out of business if your merger with JetBlue fails. If it wasn’t for b6, the next airline in the USA to go bankrupt will be Spirit. Ulcc doesn’t work with your leadership team.

no your are right. We will instead use the fact you knowingly approved an inferior contract while we had a better offer on the table.

thank you for solidifying your career expectations.

If you expect our MEC to put forth any effort at all to bring you guys up during the TPA negotiations you are insane. You had your chance 2 months ago. Your union leadership sold you a bill of goods and I would put a paycheck bet on no financial gains during TPA.
