Delta Supports Spirit Pilots
As posted on the Public page:
Code-A-Phone - Saturday, June 12, 2010 This is Captain Buzz Hazzard, Delta MEC Communications Committee Chairman on Saturday, June 12, 2010 with one item.
The pilots of Spirit Airlines are now on strike. As the expiration of the 30-day cooling off period for Spirit Airlines approached the midnight deadline last evening, negotiations were extended for five hours. The extension came at the request of the National Mediation Board. The additional bargaining time failed to result in an agreement, and at approximately 5 a.m. EDT this morning, the Spirit pilot leadership made the decision to lawfully withdraw their services after nearly four years of contract negotiations.
Delta management has agreed to allow Spirit pilots continued access to Delta jumpseats, which includes the flowback provision if Spirit management attempts to remove CASS eligibility. Striking Spirit pilots need our assistance, and we encourage Delta pilots to professionally assist Spirit pilots in any way possible if you encounter them at the gate attempting to jumpseat.
We will issue additional Code-A-Phone messages as the situation dictates.
