Naw. I've resigned myself to my fate and realize my company is one people love to hate. I'm the airline equivalent of a DMV worker, everyone hates our company and us. That delta scumbag was just being honest, he's saying aloud what the rest of the pilots are thinking. Once you let go and not care about the company image, it's quite liberating. I go about my business, cash my checks and tell people I work for Mid Continent Airlines. No ones heard of Spirit in my neck of the woods.

Or just a simple... It is, what it is will suffice for an explanation.

Can anyone explain the difference between the master seniority list that just came out and the system bid number I see in FLICA? I'm either 28 numbers or 3 numbers from the bottom captain on yesterday's snapshot for Sep. It looks like bottom captain in Sep. is Feb. '13.

Does any one know are we still running a new hire class of 12 or so every 2 weeks? Or has that stopped for the summer?

I heard a rumor of increasing class sizes and upgrades. Anyone in training heard the same thing?

Same new hire class numbers, same upgrade numbers. Haven't heard of an increase in either. We're pretty much operating at full capacity.

No worries, wish it was more hiring, larger upgrade classes.

Bids are out, received my first flying transition conflict! The only other conflict I received was one from reserves.

Now I have to go back and review the unions email on transition conflicts!

Why does our LTD suck? Will we fix this in our next CBA? All of you youngsters better think about it. We're all one medical away from being broke and destitute.
