Heat must be turning up in Miramar with the constant train wreck this is turning into.

Are we into the June meltdown already?

Aww, does someone need a hug?
Look, 9 out of 10 gonyon posts sound like that pic looks. That's me expressing my reasonable opinion. I'm sure you'd want to know if you sounded like a whiny b1tch, right? As for me, yeah me and my avatar come across kind of harsh, but I'm smiling on the inside.

Looks like it cancelled. I'd say a casualty of the holiday weekend.

Yea I knew this coming in but don't expect me to support any TA that doesn't fix it.

Sorry to bust your "the senior pilots suk" bubble, but the CBA was negotiated by junior to mid senior (at the time) pilots and was promoted by the same group. From my experience (totally anecdotal, non scientific observation), the 26% of us who voted against the TA were mostly Captains. The FO's were bribed wih twice the signing bonus ($7000) and voted accordingly. You might want to consider something: a bad attitude toward people senior to your date of hire doesnt do anything to promote the unity we'll need to succeed. Just ask Ramrod. If he's who I think he is, he's got a far better grasp of reality than you realize, but you guys are making him an enemy. Not really what you want to do.

Flight aware shows 20 cancellations for Spirit today. Seems like the weather at ORD is the worst in the system so I am sure that contributed a decent bit to that number. Not a good way to start the holiday weekend.
