Spirit pilots to vote on strike options
Uh-oh! Don't you guys remember they went on strike in 2010. Whether if they decides to go on strike or not.

Those customers won't be happy about that. They will give refund for next future trips.
Air Line Pilot Association International (ALPA) on Monday announced that 1,600 unionized Spirit Airlines Inc. pilots will be asked to vote on a measure that would initiate a legal strike.

If the customers cared about being happy they would have paid for the privilege. When you fly an airline like Spirit, you do it for the fare and the fare only...
Do you really expect any kind of service when you pay less for a flight than it would cost in gas to drive to your destination?

Aren't their pilots always pulling stupid shenanigans ("job actions") anyway? 
Maybe they should do a full strike, get it out of their system, and only come back to work when they have a contract they like or the airline simply ceases to exist.
