I basically expect management to be giving me the shaft. What upsets me is when my own elected reps stick it to me. Conners is one miserable failure. He ran on the platform of deep sixing Matias. He promised everyone he would bury him . Should have been done a long time ago. Then he promised that Ackerman would tweak him. Big fat failure.
Never again.
Never again.

I think I had my first computer in 1996 but the Internet was so slow you had to read a magazine while the pages downloaded. When I first saw DSL I almost wet my pants and when I found out you could talk on the phone at the same time I had to buy Depends.

I think you have Bendo and Yuri mixed up. I'm sure the bod is happy with the job bendo is doing, the amount of money the airline is making with him as the coo, but they cannot be happy with the continuous screwups and the amount of times Yuri is sticking his foot in his mouth. The guy is a clown, thats evident every time he opens his mouth in a recurrent class.

If you think the job is so black and white, why don't you step up to the plate and volunteer? What are your ideas and what would you do? I am very interested to hear what actions you would take from your vast amount of experience you have in negotiating a contract?

Yes they did. But you had to disable call-waiting and hope you didn't get a busy signal and put up with a loud racket when your computer tried to dial up and try to connect at the high speed of 9600bps.
30 years ago you connected at 300bps and you could type faster than your computer would transmit it over the phone line.

New definition: Crumb Buster (n.) A member of Jyri's special circle, hired at Spirit to "firm up ops." A "crumb buster" is always willing to clean up the Spirit operational mess, and can usually be spotted apologizing to customers in the terminal. May also be heard on Ops frequencies calling for paperwork, catering, or furiously attempting to make alternate arrangements for parking when their gate is occupied by another aircraft. Their gruff mating call, attributed to years of alcoholism and smoking: "If you don't like it, then quit!"

Yeah he is especially with our continuous irops, but are we really thinking management is going to fire him? I mean he's doing an incompetent job, he has no idea what he's doing, that's been proven but unfortunately for us, I'm not sure he's ever gonna get fired. Imagine how much better this place would run if we had someone who knew what he was doing in his place. I hope you guys are right and he gets fired.

Last Place? High Five!
As for gripes, Berry said, “our goal is to have zero complaints. But history shows any time an airline comes into the market with a new model, it takes a few years for the consumers to embrace it.”...'We are currently looking at several areas of our operation where can improve our on-time performance.”
A few years? C'mon, Paul: Spirit has been a ULCC for almost a decade, and customers will never embrace the operational circus and low employee morale at Spirit. It's embarrassing.
Management can't keep blaming their perpetual last-place rankings on the stupidity of customers, forever.
They also don't have enough "crumb buster" pilots to keep cleaning up after the messes they create.
Besides, "crumb busters" are often busy pursuing their favorite pastime: blaming "entitled millenials" for the world's problems that their own generation created. You have to have some outlet to relieve the stress of monitoring Flica 24/7!
