I was an ALPA dues paying member supporting the Spirit Strike while working for another ALPA carrier. And you are going to tell me I can't vote? Really, get real dude!

Yeah, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, and even I knew it was sarcastic. Just got the email for the MEC meeting. Any idea what's on the agenda since the email had zero info in it? Not asking for state secrets, just a general idea.

I'm going to guess: recall, followed by vote for new officers, followed by recall and one more vote before meeting ends.

I just have a simple question. I am not pessimistic, but wonder what would be the advantage for Spirit to even come up with a TA ?
They find plenty of pilots who still want to come here. They got away with paying a 3k, 7k bonus last time, after 4 years of negotiation. Why would they rush and get a TA so quickly ? They still have a few years before we might see some people leave for better pasture.

I believe that's the point of a more focused negotiations. The company can't delay to just delay. the less we need to tweak, the sooner we get a TA or go to arbitration (theoretically)
