I've heard (can't confirm) that they are making full pay per hour to do it, so that's a likely incentive.

A big kick in the sack along with the HR feel good fluff: "thanks for all you do", "friends flying friends", yada yada. Geee..... isn't life grand.....my company loves me........PUUUUUKE! I truly get wanting to do your part to help. It's in our nature (most of us anyway) yet when you get kicked in the nuts enough, it puts one in a bad position because if you start to realize how much your being taken advantage of, it forces you to have to consciously turn away from that nature or it will continue!

By the way I do appreciate your efforts also. I do believe you have good intent even though it seemed you attached yourself to the tinfoil crowd initially! But as usual I see a lot of them have turned on you! It seems time may have enlightened you a bit? I've never done any union work but do understand its a thankless position......especially at this airline! Never been around so many conspiracy type haters in my life! Especially in regard to our NC. The abuse they take yet continue to work hard on our behalf! They can't always get everything right guys! But they do understand this management so let them do their job and thank them!
Wow. Thank you for the support. I'll be honest. I got duped. Fool me once.....

So let me get this straight. Pilots are going in and helping management, getting paid for it, outside the contract, and yet management doesn't want to acknowledge the help by meeting us on a contract? The pilots suspend portions of the CBA to help overcome a meltdown and the goodwill is forgotten the moment the crisis is over? Doesn't bode well.

Default Jumpseat on Spirit

Hi Spirit folks,

I jumpseated with you out of DTW many years ago. I find myself re-based to DTW. Thinking of LAS-DTW to get to work on Monday. Can you give me the low-down on jumpseat procedures?

Thanks,

Rich @DL
