I was hired by Spirit back in November. I prolonged starting in hope that a new contract or better salary would be offered. Finally had to turn them down. 38/hour is sad. I am at a regional and am right about 2.5 times that getting PIC.

I have NO idea how anyone in their right mind is going there.

Joser made a smart decision. Working for nearly 1/2 what our peers make with management dragging its feet on the contract, terrible mostly not commutable lines, and the fear/hope of being bought or merging does not make for a great place to work. Unless this is your only option (DUI, failed checkrides etc) at this time I would look for greener pastures.

Sounds like somewhere that's hiring street captains or with a very fast upgrade.

How can they terminate employees if they can't even fill a new hire class?

Bingo!! You probably wont get fired here unless the company's legal department insists that you have to be terminated. In other words they are only gonna fire you if they have to.

Ummmmm yes. There's been 5 or 6 guys that have been suspended for up to a month without doing much of anything.

Really? I'd love to have a month off Can you give me an example of some things I can do to get some time off? I do an awful lot "not much of anything" and they won't give me month off.
