So you just want them to quit. Why would they stay here, why should you? The fact they’re handing out bonuses to keep the team somewhat intact means what? You want a full abandon ship? The top of this company is marketable, new job within a week. You, it’ll take 6 months.

They will be asking for labor contracts to take pay cuts while they enrich themselves with a second Ch11 filing. Get a clue man.

You will forever be a wrong guy; but the industry thanks you for voluntarily recycling your seniority/payrate. Bendo thanks you for starting over at year 1 FO pay ahead of the curve. Many thanks.

"Baby mind" to someone else and "wrong guy" to me.

You need to work on your insult game, this is pretty weak.

Your statement makes no sense, awarded zero points, of course. "Recycling your seniority?"

4 bonuses now, 3 followed shortly by furlough announcements.

clearly the first 3 bonuses weren’t effective. How about don’t pay them until they turn a profit? Seems more than fair. They lost how much money now?

Spirit bought the engines without ongoing coverage, and then agreed to settle for $150M in credits in lieu of a lawsuit which it might not win and would take a long time, which they don't have.
Source, for the uneducated?

I’ve never seen the source for the first part but the second is easy to find.

Perhaps events will prove you to be correct. Yet your post is a d1ck move.

Yeah, I was still at NK when that came out. Was really trying to find the first part.
I can't buy a blow dryer without at least a year warranty. Obviously enterprise works differently but buying a new engine without any protection against the exact thing that is happening, to save a few bucks sounds incredible irresponsible. Maybe the shareholders should be annoyed with management /s.for the last sentence.
