It’s a great post.

You will find that yes we have our union spats but the majority of guys are great and if they are mad they are mad at MANAGEMENT and what they have done to a company many loved and were proud to work at. That is the bulk of the “anger” (that’s where I am)

But let’s make this easy.

An anonymous web board is not real life

I expect jetblue pilots to fight hard for what’s best form them in the SLI

I expect Spirit pilots to fight for what is best for them in a SLI

Once it’s done I expect the new group of pilots to fight for what is best for us.

I think we could make for a really great airline and if it does not happen so be it.

That's a Bingo.

Okay, guess it is time to stop female-dogging (at least until we know what is going to happen) I guess. The unhappy pilot reference is on APC, and there's plenty of unhappy NK on here, but in the cockpit we are mostly pretty happy.

Q:
Are the pay scales on APC correct?
How many A220 on the property?
What bases have what airplanes?
What is the delivery rate for the A220?
Are all A320 pilots ETOPS?
What percentage of pilots get reserve (NK=30%)?
How many get long call?
Anybody willing to pm me a copy of the CBA?
Don't mind the blue collar.

I honestly don't go into the Spirit section of APC but I would imagine it is the same toxic crap as we have here. Again, haven't come across a B6 pilot on the line anywhere as unhappy as those on here.
I've non-revved on spirit twice now and I was very impressed with the crews. Very friendly, seemingly happy folks. The pilots I interacted with were great... on both flights, the captain ensured me that they would not leave me behind, even when one gate agent was having issues with CASS. Treated me like one of their own, as we all should.
Airplanes were newer, very clean.
My only complaints:
Both flights were delayed. One was due to gate agent computer system being down. Other was small mx delay, then no open gate on arrival after midnight. Not throwing stones here, B6 doesn't exactly have the best track record as of late.
Seats didn't recline... that may be standard across the fleet?
There is definitely something to be said for the low-fare passengers. The delays didn't help, but some of them got a bit loud and obnoxious.

A220 #9 is delivered, not sure if it is line flying yet. Plan is to have 20 by the end of the year and 100 total after all deliveries, as of now.
Pay scale seems correct, although rounded up. All scales will be going up 3% effective May 1.
Only BOS has A220s right now.

Are the 220’s on property/order the -100 or -300??

BeatNavy

All -300s. They don’t want -100s but have options on a few to convert to -100s. But all -300s as of now.
