Exactly correct! I am impressed with your second derivative supris-ed-ness.

We have what we bargained for. Any changes in the interim is a give and take. A lot of B'ing on the B'board about the removal of the HAT from the new uniform. Someone had the idea to trade the hat for KCM - maybe something SPA ALPA might want to look into


Agreed 100 %!!

Sad, but early, usually this is disperse around nov-dec, as a Xmas present, mgmt will think about the furloughs employees on Xmas day while sipping baby blood in a chalice by the fireplace.

I agree with your statement, but there isnt much I can do about it. There is past practice with this issue, and in the past when dealing with an on/off duty issue around the midnight hour the company has remedied the issue by adjusting their flight schedule to accomodate the CBA restrictions. As long as all pilots schedules are CBA compliant there isnt much that can be done.

Spirit has a union???

Seems that guys like Sourgrapes ( a Spirit pilot I believe) see no obvious evidence of a union at Spirit. Judging from the last 109 local meeting, I'll say that the membership isn't showing much interest either.

Note to all. If you want to carp and complain, show up at the next meeting. Show up, stand up, speak your piece.

But....but.....but.....it's far too easy to just whine about the perceived problems on the internet. Too many guys are just happy to let someone else take care of the work so they can fly their trips and go home to complain on the interwebz about the work of others.....
