Well looks like only 4 upgrades still. Prolonged no push for hiring seems fishy. Looks like Fornaro did his job and Ted is just a placemaker for something to come.

Merger? Takeover? Buyout?

Is it true there is only one class in April for new hires?

Not sure about the new hire class I haven't looked. But we've only had about 4 upgrades a month since the contract was passed, so it's nothing news worthy at this point.

Incorrect! It slowed late summer.

As an outsider looking in & trying to have a solid grasp of the current state of affairs of the contract, may I ask you to dumb this down for me?

I'm aware that the Spirit history books are full of boats named "Transition Conflict" and unfortunately (for the pilots) this lucrative source of income has been eliminated. Preferential bidding has been enacted as well as trip & duty rigs, among other contract provisions.

When I click on the Spirit airline profile, it shows all the new details, such as PBS, 12 days off /month, the 3.5:1 and 2:1 rigs, etc. Are you saying that some parts of the contract are valid and others not? For instance PBS is active but the rigs are not?

What does the new staffing model look like with no conflicts, PBS, leveled out reserve coverage, no RSV drops? Likely less than the historic ratio of 8.5 crews per A/C, but how low will it go?
