Two Years Overdue For A New Contract, They Insist Airline Deliver Industry-Standard Deal
Spirit pilots marked the two-year anniversary since they entered into contract negotiations on Tuesday, and are calling on their management to present them with a contract proposal that brings the pilots up to industry standard. Represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), 1,600 Spirit pilots fly the same aircraft on the same routes as their peers, yet the compensation is 40 percent less. Meanwhile, the airline recently celebrated 28 straight quarters of company profits.
