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)

Joey, just because we are focused it doesnt mean the company is focused. They are under no obligation to 'focus'

Well they have to negotiate in "good faith"

I know I know, wishful thinking
