This is the same company that doesnt have new hires under medical coverage or LTD....so when that roof comes crashing down...good luck with the Obamacare....
Give me a break. I'm sure they had their own self interests in mind, they're not trying to "help the company." South FL was never in the evacuation zone. How long have you been here Juice? I'm curious how many of these miserable haters on here voted in this contract.

This contract was fine, when ratified. Spirit was also a privately held company at the time, so the financials were not as transparent as they are today. It's now woefully outdated.

Far too many clowns around here bending over backward to help this scumbag mgmt team. Management doesn't give a crap about anything other than their bonuses. That said, I now have zero f's to give about anything here other than doing my job..and only my job.

No help, no favors!

True. But, I'm sure there are a lot of guys here ripping on people for flying the contract THEY VOTED IN! Pay rates, junior man, first year pay (which is less now).

Lets not try and conflate the two; those that were here for the contract vote and those who dont like people helping the company while we are being told we are crap by the company.

This contract was already in full force when I started here, and I clearly do not have the same anger that you do towards those who were here. As Cruise said, totally different bargaining environment.

And I think you nailed the point, perhaps unintentionally, above. Too many pilots are acting in their own self interests and not in the interests of the entire group.

Get mad at Ram, he voted in the contract and he loves when people give him a hard time about it.

Now, of course, the right like to tout the ACA as a failure, but that ignores the facts proving otherwise. That said, I'm definitely not interested in having this thread devolve into a political discussion...no good will come of that.

You are delusional. The dems had the house, senate, and presidency. No "kowtowing" was done or was necessary. No input from republicans and of course, not a single republican vote. Take your revisionist history someplace else.
