Fellow Pilots, We are aware of the announcement indicating that Spirit Airlines will cease operations as of May 2, 2026. This is a difficult and uncertain moment for many of our fellow pilots and flight attendants across the industry. With that in mind, we ask all crews to be especially attentive to jumpseat and […]
Fellow Pilots, It has come to our attention that crews have been using non-company approved Ubers and Lyfts for personal use during overnights, then expensing those rides on Chrome River. Please be advised that the current CBA has no language to support rental cars or Ubers for our crews personal use. This includes use for […]
Fellow Pilots, With the continued rollout of Navan for crew bookings, we are beginning to see some issues cropping up. The company’s previous email stated that even though Navan allows for individuals to change a booked hotel or flight, this feature is not allowed for crews, including changing a DH for a crew service approved […]
Fellow Pilots, As a follow-up to our prior communication regarding the Company’s announcement of the closure of the Bellingham and Savannah pilot domiciles this November, we have received significant feedback from affected pilots. We recognize that these decisions carry substantial impact for our members and their families, and we have been actively reviewing and compiling […]

Fellow Pilots, Through our continued membership in the Pilot’s Layover Network (International Hotel Committee Group), your Hotel Committee has secured a new Hyatt hotel discount plan. This is a commuter rate primarily offered at crew‑base airport locations for pilots and flight attendants, so it is not widely advertised. That said, there are enough cities we […]
Fellow Pilots, Your union was able to reach an agreement with the company that effectively eliminates the early 2025 GOM revisions relating to pilot contact that were adopted by the Company and not in compliance with our CBA and past practice. At the core of this settlement is a clear reset of the communication expectations […]
Fellow Pilots, In response to a bridge agreement proposal from the Company on March 31 and an updated PBS LOA on April 8, today, the Union provided the Company with a counter-proposal for a bridge agreement that includes substantial pay increases, maintenance of our high quality insurance benefits, improvements to retirement, improved working conditions, and […]
Scheduling Committee Update Something we contend with month to month is the company’s published projections on the number of Pure Lines, Composite, and Reserve Lines.
