In general, this is the best group of pilots that any airline could ask for. Lets start acting like it, even on this "anonymous" board.
Amen. Despite our differences, some heavy lifting may be required in the near future. Let's all pull in the same direction.

An ad hominem argument is marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made.

Back to my little garden party. Lemonade just got served.

Their appetites are insatiable. Boats, planes, second and third houses and ex wives, etc.

People are still gonna be whining. But, whoever said it was right. We need to not fight amongst our selfs and fight for a good contract.

17% of the vote thinks a pilot who picks up open time when his fellow pilots are furloughed is "great", and was "ticked" he wasn't able to get a JA each month and violate the CBA's limit of 5 JA's a year - so he ran for MEC rep . . . and won.

At least he's involved, and stepped up. Will anyone else?

Find out April 14-15th, when the Spirit ALPA MEC meets in FLL at our MEC offices (this is published on the Spirit ALPA site, but, just in case you don't read it, I'm mentioning it here too - ask your rep for directions to the office, since that info should remain of a public board). Given that no more than 5 pilots usually show up for an LEC meeting (after 200+ pilots complain about the MEC not listening to them), I'm betting no more than 3 pilots who aren't on the MEC or one of the committees are there. Be there, or let the MEC decide your fate in a vacuum.
We will actually be having a period set aside for folks to walk in and talk to us. I don't know which day it will be or when the MEC Comm will come out notifying you guys of the MEC Meeting (as in, following the C&BL). I am trying to get the address as well. If somebody else has it and wants to beat me to it, be my guest. Its the SPA ALPA office in Lauderdale. I've never been, nor do I have keys. I have some questions regarding that, but they won't be made here.

Just 17%?? You must have forgotten what role call is.

JCD is a great guy. I don't know anything about any pilot's past unless it was spread around on here or SPB back when we had it. Who's side are you on? I'd be happy to answer your concerns in an email, a phone call, or text. You're welcome to record the conversation. So hit me. Don't be scared lol

I came from an airline that had 200% OT for 4 years straight. So when my friends suggested I come here and gave me the run down, they explained the JA process was just "the Spirit way to get 200%." I had zero access to a contract. What I did have was pay rates and everyone on THIS thread saying how AMAZING unlimited JAs were and how every month they pulled 140 hours. So yeah, I was ticked because I didn't understand the system when it was finally brought into compliance. Just figured I would share what motivated me to run. My "Manifesto" isn't hard to look up. I still stand behind the principle of that letter I signed and delivered to each pilot's VFile. The details have changed as how the system actually works was learned and understood.
