Yeah? IF say a deal was offered 2 years ago at DOS for a 20% raise and then 3% each year thereafter...for the sake of simplicity, say it went from $100/hr to $120 to $123 to $127...$131...$135 to $139 by year 5.
If the contract gets dragged on for 5 years. Do you see the final result being getting an 40% raise to $140 or for some reason the company will cave and give you an 80% raise to $180?
I'm not sure the "we're winning because the ask just went up" holds any water as far as how much more money you'll actually get in your pocket when it's all said and done considering the time value of money lost.
I think at some point, ALPA will use Spirit as a case study of what not to do during negotiations. Whether you deserve it or not, I don't see the NMB and the administration allowing a strike when a 20%-40% raise is/was offered.
JMHO

And the company wouldn't even offer something close to that. This is who Spirit has always been, who they are, and who they will continue to be. Anyone who thinks it will become anything different should probably apply to a different airline.

You can bet your ass UAL will be looking more closely at Applications from Spirit Pilots. UAL wants to hire 1200, realistically it will be 800. Even 100 guys from here as well as our guys going to other carriers will bury this ****hole.
