You can log off you know. You don’t have to be here enduring all the pain you claim.

Happy to have made the list, Spirit won’t make it another 12 months without an acquisition. Time is almost up and the last rats on the ship that can leave are jumping.

Best of luck yellow bus bros

Basically you can’t use it for another regional.


The spirit of the language is to give a pilot some type of safety net in the event they have a washout of training, family can’t function under the new commute…………

It’s not designed for people come back to a carrier that they thought was bust and will now resurrect itself along with their career expectations.

Correct.

The only context in which this could be negotiated would be SLI. While not utterly impossible it is far beyond anything an arbitrator would remotely impose so it would have to be negotiated with the acquiring airline's union. I'm also guessing the company would have to approve since they're basically taking people they're not obligated to take in an SLI context.

Any why would an acquiring union even agree to bring back people who will end up senior to any of their people? Only way would be a staple.

I'm not sure I get it. Is the stock price of a bankrupt company that already said they will be cancelling all shares supposed to somehow be relevant?

You did and I don't think you can go back that far anymore.

I can guarantee you I have not, they have no reason to, why would they? You have me mistaken for one of those other people that talk about credit cards and blah blah, that ain't me dawg. I would love to know how this relates to my original question though.

ps; I find it really weird that you guys think you remember what people posted 2 YEARS ago on APC. A life you need my friend.
