Or go to SouthWest and hold any base out of training for twice the money.

And don't forget NK isn't growing as fast anymore. DFW Captains who have upgraded are sitting reserve for a year or longer now. That's one thing to factor into your decision as we have almost no retirements. Your QOL will depend entirely on growth or people senior to you leaving for greener pastures.

 

This ^^^, plus the way I see it is if they don't settle this pilot contract, they are going to have to start cancelling orders because we won't be able to staff them.

 

Wow... is it really that easy? Guess I was doing it all wrong then.

 

I wish I could think of a good reason why a former C17 driver should come make Spirit his home, but sadly, I can't.

The reality is that there is no good reason why a guy with military experience should come here in today's environment. The Legacies are gobbling up mil guys left and right; why not just use your mil advantage and go to an airline that may or may not respect you more but 100% will compensate you substantially better and upgrade you much much faster.

I like Spirit, I really do. But I'm already a Captain living in base. My apps are still out, but if the Legacies never call I won't lose too much sleep at this point. And this company has done a complete 180° from three years ago.

You? You'll be stuck in the right seat for quite some time. This mismanagement team continues to prove that they're reactionary, not visionary.

You're current in an RJ. I'm assuming you have left the Air Force honorably.

My friend, you're wasting your time (and losing money. Lots and lots of money.) by coming here.

 

so with this supposed flow with go jet, would their seniority be based on their go jet hire date or when they finally flowed to spirit? and how accurate or solid is this deal?

 

any updates on the negotiations front? i thought i heard somewhere that they increased the number of negotiation meetings

 

The official word is "no end in sight".

 

damn. anybody know what management is offering as far as what they think is fair for wages?. not sure if that info is allowed to be posted on here

 

They are offering well under industry average. We are years apart

The guy above you posted what is probably the most accurate info available. With that being the case, who cares what they're hypothetically offering? And even if we knew, negotiating in public in any way, shape or form is never a good idea. Best to build a strike fund, attend events when they're booked and wait for a TA to eventually educate one's self on.
