What you say can be used against you at a later time
BB says we make the same as Delta. Ok, let’s see how that holds up with mediation for the JCBA. Let’s see how that holds up with a mediator when it’s presented that upgrade is longer than at Delta. Let’s see how that holds up when ALPA presents a mediator the money difference a 20 year pilot at Spirit vs Delta will see
ALPA reps are playing the long game.
No different than in 2017 when Fornaro said Spirit is a “lower tier” airline as it relates to pilot compensation. We used that as “I’m not a low tier pilot”. It’s just how the game is played

Nah. I just choose not to bury my head in the sand and be willfully ignorant of the reality of the situation we are in. Both sides are guilty of fake news. Barry says, (paraphrasing) "Due to upgrade times, F9 pilots make just as much as Delta pilots." This is a laughable statement. Even with shorter upgrade times, which is appearing to not be true anymore, the only way you could maybe make more money here is if A) you do upgrade quickly and B) you have less than 20 years left in your flying career. And with all the"1500 hour wonders" (as you say) coming down the pipe, I'm going to go ahead and assume that most of them have way more than 20 years left and will be out of here as soon as the first legacy calls. I'm not working against anyone. All I'm against is a false narrative....from ANYONE.
