Thats how it works in my head as well. The only "involuntary" would be if they didnt want to be displaced as a CA to a junior base, but thats not an involuntary downgrade as he claimed.

So if anyone is “hire to they furlough,” it’s Spirit, not a legacy.
i bet your boy ExCargoDoggie said that a few times over the last few years. All the while cutting and pasting articles how AA was going bankrupt. That’s your comeuppance

it technically would be involuntary if you didn’t have all bases listed for CA.

Like the other poster said I’m not thrilled with taking a pay cut. It’s called handling my finances like an adult.

Anyway, you may have your finances like an adult but you handle your emotions like a toddler.

Yup, with a huge asterisk that should say “Homeboy is going to the right seat because he didn’t read the 10 union emails on needing to completely fill out their system bid”

If someone gets downgraded because they didn’t take the 2 minutes to put MCO CA and FLL CA into their bid, and they would have taken that position vs a downgrade, here is your sign”

Previous junior CA = #2072
After-bid junior CA = #2030

You can only bump people junior to you. We don't have super seniority displacement rights in the CBA. Apparently some more senior people decided to take upgrades and some bottom CAs got bumped out.

Junior CA hire date just went from 11/25/2019 to 10/21/2019.

The reality is that upgrade time just increased and Spirit has CAs being downgraded to FO.
This whole displacement bid situation is completely absurd for a growing airline.

You did the homework so I’ll take your word. And yes, this entire displacement was unnecessary because the airline clearly isn’t running their airline

Classes also have probably on average 85-90% show rate with at most only a couple people deciding not to show. They are easily pumping 100 people through training each month right now. So they don’t have as big of a problem attracting people. If you can’t stomach taking a pay cut to get further ahead it’ll be nightly tough to leave your regional as a captain making $250k per year just to drop down to to 90k per year at a legacy. In the industry rarely if ever can you get ahead financially without taking a temporary cut.
That’s definitely something I’ve been thinking about. I did say I might be willing to swallow the first year pay but the training pay is insulting. There’s no way to spin that any other way- it’s insulting. When I was doing research about who to enter the industry with Republic had crap training pay (hasn’t changed) and I was insulted by that but I said to myself, “well it’s a regional gotta start somewhere and pay your dues.” Spirit IS NOT a regional.
