Even with all the upset pilots out there, Spirit still met their goal of "not finishing last" in March with A14. Will April be different? Probably not. When the objective of the airline is as low as "not finishing last," do you think they really care about a flight here and there that gets canceled for understaffing?
Short of a strike, pilots will ultimately do what is best for them and their family. I don't like the idea of guys picking up straight time OT or the SA List, but it's allowed by the CBA. So like it or not, it's happening and will continue to happen.
I'm at the point where I've accepted this is a marathon and not a sprint and I won't get worked up on a daily basis over it. Come to work, do my job, go home. If the phone rings, I might name an obscenely high demand, they may take it, they may not.
It's cliche but if some are so unhappy, it may be time to spend a little less time on the forums and a little more time networking for a job at a fancy Legacy. We all know that Legacy wages are locked in forever and will/won't/hasn't ever gone down.

Unfortunately I think the theory is not accurate in reality. Flights will not get canceled enough to cause a significant ripple.
