We'll obviously disagree on that. But even if we gained little from those LOA's, NOT ONE PILOT HAD TO RESIGN TO GET THEM. You had to resign to get that cool pin with the star and HOPE that things worked out and you got your job back.

What did we get for them?

I'm quite excited for the Tilted Kit. It's not my local pub, but I'll check out a match or two there.

Or LOA 34. My all time favorite! Satellite Bases! You could bid them on a month to month basis. As long as it didn't have vacation or training. Conflicts wouldn't be honored either.

Next time your sweating out a 30 day cooling off period maybe you'll feel better with some Romney appointees to the NMB. . .

LOA 34 was negotiated at the direct request of ACY pilots who had their base closed by Dr. Schorr in the early 2000's (after Sept11, 2001). The ACY guys wanted their base back and the new management needed some convincing that it would work. The MEC wrote that LOA with the expectation that management would see the benefit of having pilots in ACY again. It worked, shortly thereafter, the new (no sense of history of Spirit Airline) management made ACY a full fledged base again.

Once again, you guys hate because of who made the deal instead of what the deal accomplished.

LOA 35 was directed by the NMB neutral as the way to settle hundreds of pay NCCs/Grievances. We gained a pay schedule that matched our contract and allowed pilots to more easily check their paychecks.

I can't remember LOA 37, please refresh me.

Neither party supports American laborers.

Wall Street money goes almost equally to Democrat and Republican party.

You should have watched the PBS special on Romney, he saved American jobs by rescuing companies that would otherwise have gone broke.

I am not a Romney supporter, nor a Bush, nor McCain. I don't like any of them over the past 20 yrs.

LOA 35 says nothing about settling hundreds of grievances? The pay schedule was changed. LOA 37 was the one where the union in charge put management pilots on the seniority list retroactive to their hire date. In front of all 2006 hires. Thanks. Same thing was tried not long ago and was deemed a violation per the concessionary contract we signed.

It's funny how the brigade does and has never done one thing wrong and the current union can't do one thing right. Nothing personal but, I'm just pointing out there are two sides to all stories. Newer guys need to made aware of such instances so they aren't repeated. Right?
