And let's all take a look at those numbers again and know that there are 2 yr narrowbody captains at delta and 3yr widebody fos at united. So in total compensation you make more than every pilot at spirit in one year delta and two years at united.

American said it canceled 500 flights, or 22% of its schedule of 2,250 departures Monday as a result of a shortage of pilots. The pilots had been encouraged by union leaders to call in sick if they did not feel "physically or mentally" up to flying. On Sunday, American canceled 240 flights because of a lack of pilots, up from 90 flights on Saturday."

Another thing, what happens to that MCF grant we need from ALPA to pay for all the SPSC activities? The picketing, billboards, newspaper ads you guys love so much? You don't follow their play book, and take their legal advise they can shut down the cash flow.

How they make their revenue behind the door is not my concern. For all we know they will change us into an all first class airline next week. My job is the same no matter what they do and I expect professional compensation.

We all fly airplanes for work at our respective Airline. Same stuff. But Pilots using the term ultra-low-cost carrier to Define anything about their company or their jobs is poison in itself in my opinion. Plays right into the hands of those management types that made the terms up in the first place.
If you call a goose a duck long enough pretty soon Believe It or Not people are going to start agreeing with you.

Id say the only thing lower than our pay is the amount of days I've worked in 2016!!!
35 to date and with a 3-day left for the year, grand total of 38!
Merry Christmas errrr'body
