ALPA legal may not be the brightest organization on the planet, but they are well funded.

Hard to show you a smoking gun when SPA ALPA financials are burried deeper than Jimmy Hoffa. Fringe Element? I think I'll use that for my screen name on the new board, thanks.

Non Union as to mean Non union affiliated or sponsored.

That what I mean Juice, but sometimes I wonder if some of my co-workers want a "your own contract dealing" a la JB job. Meaning NO UNION AT ALL.

Because it doesn't matter who or how they run it, they will always be unhappy with it, nothing will ever be good enough.

I don't know of any Spirit pilot who want's to be non union. The insinuation that those who oppose the current leadership want "NO UNION AT ALL" puts you in as partisan position as those you oppose.

Quite frankly, I'm tired of everyone opposing everyone. That's why we need to elect Bowland and Robinson to Council77 and why we need to elect Aschenbrenner to the interim 77 Capt Rep seat. These guys have a goal and a unified vision; that we all are able to retire at Spirit Airlines after long and fruitful careers.

Tony's resignation was a last minute thing and Graham expressed a strong willingness to run for Interim. Andy is cool with that, as he'll also be gearing up to speed in the interim and working with Graham for a smooth transition.
