I was asking the question dolt, why have to work the "system", sit on the computer picking up open time and begging schedulers for JRM or move up pay, when we could just fly our schedule, not have to work on our days off and make what the Big 4 guys are making?

This company makes enough money to pay us what we deserve, it's making those huge profits off the backs of the pilot force. There is no need to give up anything.

Then the unthinkable happens; the airline completely shuts down and we have to scramble to find a job to provide for our families. The only good airline hiring is Spirit at the time so here we are.
First of all, Spirit is a really great place to work so I don't think anyone has the right to put it down as some "less than a major airline". If everyone does their part, Spirit will be one of the "BIG 3" by the time I retire. That is if we don't merge and lose the name.
Lets not sell Spirit or the employees short. Some of the finest professionals are employed with Spirit.

It's just the nature of the yellow beast we feed.

If you haven't read the latest ALPA magazine yet, and are looking for news about Spirit in it, I'll save you the time,
"Spirit--A Section 6 notice was filed on April 28, 2015. Negotiations are under way." That's it. Same amount of news on Spirit and its pilots as last month. Exactly the same.
