Vacancy/Reduction

Did I miss something? Are they not doing a vacancy/reduction bid this month?

I think they usually send it out by the end of the day. But I am hoping they cancel the vacancy bid all together.

I almost expect things to not function the way they are supposed to these days. Seems, more than even, that management is checked out and not communicating any day-to-day goals/initiatives with the pilot group. Vacancy bids being messed up and rerun, ORD reserve grid opening up at less than 75% and now this. Is this to be expected until the merger? Hope not.

Hope in one hand and poop in the other

See what one fills up first.

Vacancy bud is staying, it’s been made pretty damn clear. They don’t have the staffing to fly what they consider to be the most profitable routes, so they have to move the crews to complete their fools errand. Jeff Miller. Haha. That guys a joke, almost as bad as Jyri.

Sorry I meant I hope they cancel the displacement bid. I do hope (and poop in my hand) that they will get their collective heads out of their asses and realize that uprooting pilots and their lives is severely hindering them.

I wonder if someone up there will realize that kicking pilots out of 3 legacy bases will just send those pilots to those legacy airlines…

Not only that...but having pilots now commute to some other base to do day turns or two day trips. Talk about disrupting people's lives. These guys are completely clueless.

Hopefully people considering Spirit right now do some research about how poorly this airline is run.

That’s quickly changing. Doesn’t pay or make any sense to come to NK anymore. People are and will choose to stay at regional or now just get picked up by SWA. Atleast if they get stuck there they have a stable future.
