Let me simplify it for you so you understand. Spirit is going to get the hourly rates at Allegiant plus 3%. This will be at the loss of a lot of the work rules. You dont belive me then stick around at Spirit and find out.

Money you can always get back, once you give up a work rule you're never see it again! Ask any NWA/DAL guys. They've given up a lot and it's never coming back! I will never vote for giving up the control we have over our lives for $$.

I kinda wonder if this dude is even smart enough to be a part of management. I'm sure even management knows this isn't true. They may wish that could be but anyone with any kind of brains should be able to figure out that would never fly here. Pun intended.

Pilots are running short, and airlines that cannot attract quality pilots with fail. I do not want Spirit to be one of them.
I'm not saying you should take our deal. You should use it as a starting point. But don't sit here and say our contract sucks. It doesn't, and we went to the brink (like you are now) to get it.

Allegiant's contract was pretty good when you voted it in, but today it would never pass at spirit. I think it would have passed back then tho. The bar has been raised multiple times since then and it would be unacceptable to even send out a TA for a vote that mirrors Allegiant rates.

Oh and when you say "best of any ULCC", you need to knock that crap off. You are a professional pilot and that has nothing to do with the business model of the company you work for. You do the same job as any other pilot that flies the same plane you do. At Spirit our main competition is not allegiant or Frontier. It is united, delta, American, Southwest, JetBlue, etc. That is who I compare my pay to.
