If a B6 3 year 190 Capt is making more than our 5 year 320 Capts, that is certainly going to be an issue which is both insulting and a no vote for many.
While it is true that many knew the pay rates, upgrade times and the amendable date of the contract, there is nothing wrong with demanding industry std with our peers such as B6.

While true you get to voice your opinion by how you vote there is exponentially more leverage toward passing a TA as negotiation fatigue and the time value of money equations kick in.

Well, as long as everyone keeps filing their own flight plans and answering the phones during these irops we seem to have, then you are right, we have no leverage.
The only thing this company understands is losing money, true during the strike and true now. So keep up the good work guys, mgt is still taking huge bonuses.

Mark my words they will not fix jack ****. The only way it will be fixed is when upgrades come to a stop. Then and ONLY THEN will they fix the junior rates because they will become

GHOST RATES.


Peace. I'll come back on when we get a contract in 2020 to say I told ya so. (Hopefully from the seat of an airline that actually pays pilots and doesn't constantly try and F----- them
WIA is the next job fair, but if I were you I wouldn't waste the money. They'll see right through the immaturity and hate. Your best bet is to go to a regional with a flow, you'll get to one of the legacies faster than Spirit will get a contract.

Why are you so angry? Did they promise you profit sharing/ DC retirement/ $220hr third year pay when they interviewed you?

Like someone else said, I know it cost a bit of money but moving out of your parents house really builds independence and may help with the anger/entitlement issues.

If you really believe that going to a legacy via a regional would happen quicker than us getting a contract.............and you choose to stay here, you my friend are doing yourself and your family a huge disservice by staying here.

Unless of course you have little self worth.


And for the record, no, nobody promised me anything HOWEVER, I did not expect to work for an airline that needs its pilots to "save the day" when weather hits in the summer, nor did I sign up for an airline that needs its own pilots to file flight plans.
