I overheard from one of those cubicles in the FLL crewroom: 20 pilot recalls soon. I didn't hear a date though. Keep your fingers crossed!

The crap still going on there gets to me, still and I am not there any more. I know some of the union reps and they are good guys for the most part. 90 % of the crap is from upper mgt.

Spirit MEC Weekly Update: September 7, 2009
1. Negotiations Update #17—Negotiations wrapped up on Thursday, September 3, after four days of talks. We were able to reach Tentative Agreements on Section 6: Moving Expenses and Section 8: Deadheading. ALPA submitted proposals to Spirit’s negotiating team concerning Section 5: Expenses; Section 9: Training Pilots; and Section 11: Training. In addition to these sections, we still have Section 13: Leave of Absence; Section 23: Furlough; and Section 24: Filling of Positions under discussion. Mediated negotiations are set to resume September 28–30 at ALPA headquarters in Washington, D.C.
well at least things are moving forward now.

Being sec 3 the least important, or this is normal procedures?
By the time we bring sec 3 to the table, the Co. is gonna look back and say:
"we've giving you enough, shut up and go to work",
and
"if you don't like it, grieve it, we've got time!!!"

I keep hearing now that the 2 A320s we are getting will replace existing A319s. This could hold all recalls for early next year. Not sure if it is meant as a move to better our maintenance or simply start to phase off our A319s. Either way, I don't like hearing this.
