What worries me is how much the rest of the company seems to hate the flight/cabin crews. Everyone is looking for someone to blame.

BTW "happy with the current contract" doesn't jibe with "fully expect gains". I just wish I knew enough to know who to vote for.
I do think there are areas for improvement, hopefully these issues are just growing pains. It is time for this company to begin acting like a real airline. Sometimes I feel that my past regional was more professional at times, but then I realize that there will be issues with most companies.

On a more positive note, our next 320 is on the way from France!

Sure it does. I guess a better way of putting it is I'm not completely disgusted with the current contract and will be looking forward to gains come 2015

With the growth Spirit is experiencing, I think LAS could be had relatively quickly. Maybe three months out of training at the longest. You may be on reserve for quite awhile though, but even that's relative. A long time on reserve at Spirit is a blink of an eye compared to the rest of the majors.

Looks like 7 people will get LAS right out of training on the December award.

Just have to be patient now, just like I was told by many. Things move fast once they get started. Good luck.

[QUOTE=JoeyMeatballs;1507018]Buddy of mine was recently hired without a 4 year degree, however he was working on it. No internals either, just job fair[/QUOTE

It must have been my good looks...
