Lesson #1 eh? Let me ask how many negotiating committees you have served on and how many contracts you have negotiated? The MEC's strategy was decided by the reps you all voted for, and that strategy was approved by almost 70% of your peers.

We're lucky we got what we did, when we did. How is holding out working for Frontier right about now? Some of you are completely delusional.

Quick question. Should we still go tell our Delta buddies to "step it up" since we take more out of Spirit's bottom line than they do of Delta's? EMBARRASING.

If that's the case, then the ability to drag out negotiations might actually work for the union for once.

it's about time...

But hey, looks like another $160 million loss for the quarter! Wasn’t there talk of breaking even at some point? Cash on hand will be gone before we know it.

Let’s say that’s true. What do you think we would’ve gotten by now that’s better? This place is filing for bankruptcy in less than a few months.
