yeah man I guess you’re right. Can you imagine being so miserable that you to spend all your time at the “failing” airlines thread just so you can beat em while they’re already down? I just don’t understand that mentality.

Stu, you hear that? Do your job! Unbelievable the Union has been silent the last 72 hours. Must be out golfing with Ted.

And what exactly would that accomplish, genius? Maybe start with actually knowing who your union leadership is first.

settle down. Is it really that surprising that folks with a vested, multi-decade interest in this career might be rooting against a company that attempts to drive down prices? Let's be honest. If Spirit does shrink, it will result in higher fares and presumably higher profits for the remaining industry participants (almost all of whom have previously experienced a bankrupcy and the associated shrinkage/disruption themselves).

And let's be honest, if that merger had gone through, you'd be doing everything you could to grasp every last ounce of seniority from another pilot group no matter what it took. So stop taking it personally.

Nah man you know, it’s my airline, my future, my
job. I have a vested interested here, so yeah - I think I’ll take it personally. Settle down? Get real! What I won’t do is ever go in your house talk **** about your family. Pretty much what’s happening here.

Why would a member of the negotiating committee call for a vote of no confidence? You do realize Stuart has not been the MEC Chair for a few years, right?

Enough Delta pilot. For the sake of others, quit enforcing stereotypes.

Seriously. The amount of legacy guys spending time on OUR sub forum stoking the fears of an already stressed out pilot group is beyond depressing. Some of you can barely contain your excitement at the thought of NK liquidating. This is our space guys. If you want to come here may I suggest expressing empathy toward your fellow union brothers and sisters. Otherwise just keep your mouth shut and scram.

It’s heartbreaking to see what’s been going on over at NK. NK has some of the best people and I truly hope y’all get through this. Made some awesome friends there and flew with awesome CAs. Seriously can’t complain about my time at Spirit. Hope yall pull through
