They gave me an interview in the spot. Don't know a date yet as I wasn't available for the two dates they had this month. Supposed to call this week with confirmed dates.

Define nicely? I think we should hand out green lanyards at the jobfairs for their name badges. That'd be a lock for an interview to the circus

Better in what sense......you could be back close to pay parity in 3 years, and beyond that even as an FO you'll exceed earnings at Spirit or Frontier.

Why would anyone come here??

A Message From Spirit President and CEO, Bob Fornaro

Spirit Family:

As many of you know, for a little more than a week, there has been tremendous pressure on the Spirit operation. Unfortunately, the cause of the most recent operational issues is an unlawful campaign by the Airline Pilots Association, International (ALPA) to purposely disrupt operations. This has caused hundreds of flights to cancel and thousands of Spirit customers to miss important family events, vacations, and critical business meetings they had planned to attend.

So today, in order to protect Spirit’s customers, the airline reluctantly filed suit in federal court to stop this unlawful job action.

As we work to get past this difficult time, I want to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication to our customers. I especially want to thank those who work in our airports, the OCC, and in other customer-facing roles. I know it has been and continues to be an extremely challenging time, and I truly appreciate your efforts.

Demonize the Pilot group to all other employee groups. That should Do the trick and forever poison the well. Great Leadership! #Fam? Does this guy really think the Flight Attendants forget their lengthy negotiating process and numerous failed TA's. Or that the Ramp personnel, Flight Ops and Gate agents have all blacked out the mass Outsourcing system wide?

Summary:

We offered our pilots who are only paid 40% of industry average a whopping 30% increase to take them all the way to 52% of industry average while wiping out all of their work rules and protections. We were shocked that they turned it down and are opting to stay home instead of working every single day off for our benefit.

Quote this in your next legal brief: Suck a ******* ****!
