EXACTLY my thought. The company isn't giving us this out of the goodness of their hearts. The LOA gives them more savings and more flexibility than whatever they can do otherwise. What this means for us is less required staffing/longer upgrades. Also, if we vote this in, it sends a very strong message to the company that we are willing to vote in almost anything come contract time, as long as there are sufficient scare tactics employed i.e. commuters having to come to their domicile for GS and pay for hotels if they vote no. I hope our pilot group isn't really this spineless! Come on people!

About voting anything IN that our union presents, I don't believe that's true either, we talk of our company's scare tactics but we also spread a good amount of BS ourselves.
Hiring and upgrades will continue as long as we keep getting ACs..the difference between pre/after DL amount of upgrades and hiring it's probably very small.
Btw, I voted no, for my own personal reasons.

Apparently we're being sued because the O2 masks were never deployed during that engine failure out of DFW, you know.......the oxygen masks THAT DEPLOY IF YOU LOSE CABIN PRESSURE. Lol. The passengers are also sueing because of our "cutting corners" Mx wise. What a joke

My last company everything was MEL'd with stickers every where. At Spirit most of the time nothing is MEL'd. The best maintenance I have ever had in aviation.

All news these days is crap, Brian Wilson will probably claim to have been on that Spirit flight.

"Health and cleanliness concerns were also noted. After a September 2014 complaint, inspectors found rats in one aircraft cabin, according to FAA documents."
Awesome.
Imagine if word got out about the FA's new study room
Hard to imagine the FAA would approve anything like this for any recurrent training or training if any kind. Must be for something else.
Are we even a real professional airline?

Gonyon, I might be acting a prude but not sure that's great to be putting here. See thread "The Media Reads APC." We could also add "Litigious Attorneys Read APC."

Who ever put this "studyroom" solution together has NO business running an airline as they don't take training seriously which is the bedrock of safety. Wow I am literally shockrd
