Has anyone ordered the upgraded pants? Are they good?

I just got around to send my pants and blazer back. I am scratching my head if I should drive to Tally Ho and color match (a long f in drive), or just try and order the upgraded ones. Either way, it is complete BS that we have to deal with this. Not to mention the upgraded ones are listed full price under the issuance policy. They should at least deduct the price of the cheapo ones.

Dealt with the same issues with the pants. Finally gave up and went to Macy's. Bought some Kenneth Cole reaction pants. Very very close match. Extremely comfortable and durable. Sale price of $36.. Regularly $75. Not to mention they do not need hemming.

Got an email from Tally Ho. They have matched our colors from other Spirit guys. Their dark navy should work but I haven't seen it in person.

How do they post a vacancy for 25 ACY FO's, only to post the next one for a reduction of 22???

Uh, how does crew planning work???

Acy is just a numbers game. Those 25 FO's from last month were there on paper only. They aren't done with training till the end of feb. This month there aren't any new hire classes for the bid, and they wanted to upgrade 12 and continue to grow the DFW base. That means there must be reductions somewhere to balance the bid. There will always be an ebb and flow of FO's in acy as long as we are growing at such a rapid pace.

So why none in the severely under staffed base in LAS?
