Default Tax plan and profit sharing

Let’s try not to drift into a political back and forth over whether or not the new tax legislation is good or bad for us individually or even the country. Please.

One thing is for sure is that it’s great for Spirit and spirit’s profits. So imo we need to up our ask and again demand full retro. They claimed full retro would cost them a year of profits. Even take our planed growth out of the equation, their taxes just got slashed by 40%. I want full retro back on the table with the NMB in light of these developments.

Also, moving forward we know as profits soar they will not let that money trickle down to the employees or even make new investments not already planned. They will buy back more stock and award themselves more massive bonuses. The only chance we have to get a piece of this new massive corporate tax savings is PROFIT SHARING. Even with the FAs “me too” profit sharing is an easy give now.

All financial analysis presented by Spirit to the NMB is completely null and void and now tilted to favor us. Ted would have to do some real magic with his two day long power point to refute this.

Another week, another Qotsa thread on APC. Dude you need to seek help for social media addiction. It's counter productive.

You're trying to help we get it, but the trolls will always outnumber you.

If nothing else come up with some better thread titles.

Considering this tax plan just passed yesterday and will go into affect in less than two weeks I’d say it’s very relevant to our negotiations.

Sadly I was working and did get some updates but none on this. If it was asked and answered I’ll follow up offline if it cannot be posted

Here's an idea...if any of you missed the call and/or questions related to the new tax laws, you can easily follow up with the NC via email to answer any questions you have instead of relying on WhatsApp hearsay and APC trolls.
