I didn't take my job at the regionals because of the great pay. I took it to get experience and hopefully move up to a better company and THEN continue to work for and hopefully get better pay and benefits each contract.

If we all lived strictly by that theory then none of us would have ever gotten our first job.

Please don't sell me short...you'll be looking at the higher longevity rates on our next cycle too.

Why only 20% for a 12yr CA? That's parity with Delta and United's A320 rates at their CURRENT values, which are expected to increase significantly in their upcoming cycles. I'm tired of dragging the anchor...

I dont quite understand why everyone is trying to compare us to Delta. Delta is on pace to make almost 4 BILLION dollars this year. We might make 200 million. Say we have 1300 pilots on the list when the next TA is reached, if every pilot gets a 40k/per year raise that equals a 52 million dollar increase over our current contract. Over 25% of the yearly profit. I dont see any way the company would agree to a cost increase like that.
I hope it happens but I dont see anyway the company agrees to a contract like that in the next 4 years.

Well, there are no other ultra low cost carriers although Frontier is soon to be one. But who cares, a Spirit pilot flies an Airbus into the same airports as any other airline and is held to the same standards as any other pilot and should be paid as any other pilot. Low cost airline does not mean low cost pilot...
