Akerman's latest podcast was rambling. Kind of like when someone knows something you don't but they can't tell you. Not in a good way.

Its like that every week. Still waiting on the "unity" lanyards "being distribute as we speak", oh and the meltdown deal.

Most seem somewhat prepared. This one not so much.

Because he just upgraded he just now notices the releases are screwed up? Sorry, the rest of us noticed it 9 months ago. I can do arts and crafts. I'll take contract progress over an update about "we'll pass along to the company it's still not fixed."

A few nuggets in this article....


DOT said that only 49.9 percent of Spirit’s flights arrived on time or within 14 minutes of schedule in June.

This weeks podcast was unlistenable. Hopefully he has an excuse. This is the mindless, rambling drivel you spew when the communication committee can't prepare your statements for you? Nice to know our Chairman can only speak eloquently when the teleprompter is working. "Make no mistake, our careers at Spirit Airlines were in jeopardy.." GMAFB. Call Obama and get his PR guy in because you're in full-blown damage control.

I'll work that yoke for $135/year fourth year FO pay and nearly a $4 million contribution to my 401k over the course of my career, and the quality of life isn't so shabby at most legacies, it just takes a year or two.

Regardless, I love Spirit, and am incredibly fortunate to have a job at a solvent company. I do not love the pay and type of aircraft isn't in my top 30 reasons to choose an airline. That's just my prerogative, everyone's situation is different.
