Don't interpret any of my comments to mean that I have any bitterness to those that sacrificed before I arrived here. Turning down a job because I don't like pieces of the contract is just plain crazy. In a few years it will be redone anyhow. The bottom line is that I am now a part of this union and have investigated how we got where we are. Now I want to be part of the future and have a right to my opinion. I will be working right beside you to make this place a better place to work. OK?

Well put gator!!! I was wondering what gives a guy that's hired in early 2012 the right to be bi$&hing about a contract he never fought for???? He should have went to Virgin or Bluejet! I'm fairly new here too. I enjoy my job a lot, but also see room to make it better next time around. Rest assured I'll be pulling up my sleeves and in the trenches with you all to make it better! Until then, I'll go to work and keep my FNG opinions to myself!!!!

He/she has the same right to complain as anyone else on property, IMO.

It was great that we all came together for the strike - seriously, despite our differences, nobody crossed, and that was awesome.

But now that we're growing again, we are taking on new pilots. We have to assume Spirit hired these guys based on their qualifications, what they know. We, the Spirit pilots, would be incredibly short-sighted to limit the input of these new pilots, some of whom were much more than simply 'RJ guys' prior to joining our group.

So, new guys, feel free to complain - each complaint should be recognition of a potential weakness in our contract, and an issue you can help us fix when you get involved. We have too many guys, both new and old, that sit on the side-lines, lobbing negativity, but refusing to make any effort to help fix the problem.

Walking a picket line in the past doesn't give you the right to complain. Making an effort NOW to fix problems does.

Thanks nedskid. WE should all be able to work together to make ths a better place. If someone made mistakes in the past we can all learn from those mistakes. That is a sign of maturity. Now let's get prepared for a potential buyout or merger.

Flights are always wide open. Would probably work better as a Wednesday Friday Sunday route.
