Sorry. No college and I barely made through high school. I was busy doing "other things" much more fun and profitable than my homework. I guess I really am a " low tier" pilot.

At the very least, say something like "I know words, I have the best words...." You know, something along the lines of a lame ass attempt at appearing intelligent...

Tranquility, life is too short to police everything and everyone.. Especially since you knew what he meant, at least I hope you did. Are you really that perfect, or that bored?

I don't care about that because I "MIGHT" lose money from my paycheck in the future because I "AM" losing money right now as I am working under a contract that is way below industry.

The word "Lose" is actually used correctly in this instance. He's not loosing money. He's losing money. Sorry to assume your gender.

Roll eyes, public school pffft.

Maybe you would prefer we duct tape our junk aft, dress up like transvestites and behave like submissive drag queens? Do you have any idea how valuable and effective people become when they are no longer afraid of consequences and have nothing to lose? Besides most of us that work here don't care about Mickey Mouse ALPA legal BS anyway because we are not planning on staying here. Would somebody please give me a match and some lighter fluid so I can burn this place down before I leave.
Freedom of speech comes with responsibility and accountability. Often, exercising restraint and self-control will gain more respect from others than crude remarks that reflect poorly on oneself and one's associates.

We are all "frustrated", but we are not going to garner support from friends, or respect from adversaries, if we continue to portray ourselves as the kind of people who are only able to articulate our opinions with the type of language you are using on this very public message board.

Spirit may be a Low-Tier airline, but the pilots I fly with here are not Low-Tier people.

Let's respect each other as professionals on this forum, just as we respect each other on the line.

We may or may not have the same opinions, but we certainly owe it to ourselves and each other to help improve and maintain our professional image, since we may draw a lot of attention from the public and media through legal and union-sanctioned means in the future.

I would not put myself or my family on an aircraft piloted by a person who lacks the good judgment and self-control to refrain from publicly posting language such as your above quoted remarks, and advocating that it is a good idea to "burn it down".

While your are holding your match, please remember that your actions affect the well-being of not just pilots, but every Spirit employee who must rely upon this Low Tier operation to sustain themselves and their families.

Let's support our union and get this contract done the right way. If anybody looks bad in the process, let it be upper management for dragging their feet and not the pilots who are effectively the true leaders of this airline.

Remember: if something goes unfortunately wrong for one of us on the line, your public remarks on here may very well be quoted, even out of context, by the media.

Thanks!
