No, Spirit work rules bend gravity, and have a special reality warp. All you have to do is press the magic button on the electronic genie, and no Spirit pilot has to work a day they don't want to, including weekends, holidays, or work at all in the summer. It's yellow-dust magic.

No one is arguing that. The point is that our contract allow us to change/manipulate our schedules/bid a certain way that the legacies historically don’t get too.

They're out there.
“I know a guy who knows a guy”. Yep everyone at the legacies is so miserable they are breaking down spirits door trying to get in. Must be why we have zero attrition problems.

And just so we are clear having a CJO while already in class at NK is not what I said…

No one knows anyone on here. You just sound like it is all. I bet you’re a decent person to be around and fly with, but you seem to not a believe anyone on here about QOL and how good we have it. Is Spirit perfect, hell no. But is it better than most, I’d say so.

Hence why we shouldn’t give an inch at the table during JCBA talks. Both companies have things going for them that would make post merger JB something to reckon with!

Can't say so just because you maybe know 2 or 3 people at each Airline, if that. Sample size is too small to make that conclusion. Do you know the QOL of a lot of the widebody UAL peeps, how about a lot of the Captains on narrowbody Delta who gets the system working for them?

At the end of the day, that's simply your opinion, which is fine. As long as you know that. Driver gave you an idea of what his QOL is like and all you can think about is "how good we have it". You're sounding like some of the bluejuicers we have over here. You're drunk on the NK QOL mantra. No one is saying there aren't stuff we need to keep, just please don't go into JCBA thinking you need to choose QOL over compensation when your back is against the wall, let's go for both.
