You better not give up anything!
Spirit is currently undercutting the industry, with low wages and poor service! The industry has finally rationalized capacity through consolidation and is finally able to control pricing... But now Spirit is flooding the market with cheap seats hurting the pricing control that makes this job a great career!
The Spirit Negotiating Comitee should give the company an ALPA legacy CBA and say sign it!

Airlines say rising competition from low-cost carriers has crimped pricing power in a few markets, including Dallas, Seattle and Chicago, and contributed to some of the decline in the revenue gauge, also known as unit revenue.

You do realize that if you have good rules PBS is a lot better than hard lines? You could negotiate 4 days off min into PBS. You could even make it wavable by the individual pilot's choice! Gives you a lot flexibility to control your own life!

Our Labor costs may be lower than industry average (for now), however that is not the reason for our success.
Also, our service isn't ****ty by any stretch of the imagination. our F/As are great and the majority of our planes are less than a few years old.
Anyway, carry on......
I do agree with you that work rules are what makes PBS crappy, not PBS itself.

Had PBS at my last place, no thanks, I'm liking line bidding.

The legacies may be in for the fight of their lives. They are making tons of money now, but need to watch the advance of domestic ULCC and ME3 on either end of their revenue catchment. I contribute to and work in support of ALPA PAC, but sadly hoping for renegotiation of the Open Skies deal with the UAE to protect legacy long haul flying is unlikely to succeed. Look at how well we stopped the Abu Dhabi US Customs facility.

Correct. But if you have proper work rules and credit assigned to them it doesn't matter. However, if you want lines for the 3 maybe 4 months you have conflicts to get more days off so be it! I personally think more ppeople would benefit from control and more days off on the days the pilot wants off for the full*calendar year.*
