Exactly which "basic work rules" did we strike for? I personally dont see any difference between C2003 and C 2010 regarding work rules. We already had "5/4 days off", no JA, and reasonable hours of service rules. What "basic work rules" did we gain by striking?

In the end, I wasn't here for the strike so I walk very carefully when discussing or expressing my views on the 2010 contract and the benefits/lack of benefits obtained from that contract. I didn't walk so my views doesnt hold the weight as someone who walked during that time, and that's the way it should be
We have a lot of things that need improvement from current book and I hope we can work torwards that starting next year

Zed and ID90
I am looking for advice on international travel using Zed and ID90. I have used an ID90 once about 10 years ago to go to Germany, but other than that I have no clue where to start. My brother is going to be in Australia for several months and I figured this would be the perfect excuse to cross that, and New Zealand, off my places to see. I am trying to get my wife and I to Brisbane. Any suggestions on using the jumpseat vs Zed vs ID90 and who we can use as Spirit pilots would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately most regionals have better zed programs than spirit. Hopefully as the airline grows more airlines around the world will see value in adding us.
I think your best option right now is Id on Ual and the. Buy a ticket once in oz

Atlas operates under the Quantas call sign into Chicago. I'm guessing they stop in LAX before heading down under.
That would be a good place to start.

What exactly is the difference between zed and id90s? Do we have access to more airlines with one than the other? Like I said I haven't traveled except jumpseat offline. With my previous company I was able to use my company pass benefits everywhere we went.
