Periods of horrible pay isn't unique to Spirit Airlines. Those airlines improved, we will too.

Only because they refused the Nicolau. They liked that pay scale better and knew they'd be locked in it for an infinite amount of time. It was the only way to keep the Nic off property. Kicking out ALPA "helped" their cause.

When Flying the Line Volume III is written, there should be several chapters dedicated to USAPA.

A valuable history lesson. US Airways was a damaging anchor on wages in this industry for too long.

Nice way to set the bar low and manage expectations!!

How about talking about the current environment, not to mention soon to be future rates
5 yr 320/737 CA/FO

AK 181/119
DL 198/127
AA 215/138
JB 179/112
SW 200/130

REPUBLIC 78/46
SKYWEST 77/46

NK 136/90 Which of these groups is Spirit closer to? And we aren't even listing the prof share or DC.

Who gives a cr@p what Airways did in 2007? Lets set the bar for tomorrow.

Thank you. Everyone keeps talking about 2010 or the size of the airline. It's about now and what narrow body pilots make today.

Ummm, Jetblue and Virgin for that matter, didn't "set any bars". They rode the wave of dues paying members for free. Unfortunately it appears our mec is enthralled with making their wages our starting point and too many want to reference them.

Both of those airlines have done nothing yet to be included in the list of professionals who fought for their wages to be increased and our wages shouldn't be starting there!

Anything short of the pay from carriers who actually "set the bar", should get a big fat "No" vote on any new TA we receive.

You should study your history a little better. Any idea about their contract before the bankruptcies?
