Because he crossed the picket line when Pan Am was on strike in 1989.

I know of at least 80,000 other people that care. Probably more.

All you big shots need to put your money where your mouths are and get your union to start a special assessment to create a Spirit pilot fund. 1000 a month from every union member and demand that every UA and DL class is filled with Spirit pilots until they all have jobs. You guys are all talk. I could care less what 80k of you think about me. In the mean time I’m the only one in this conversation that is actually putting money in Spirit pilot pockets. AtariFerrariNH biggest stress in life is trying to decided if he is ready to be a 121 captain because he’s approaching 50. lol! Hahahaha. YOU ALL HAVE BROTHERS ON THE STREET. STOP THIS BULLSHIT CRYING ABOUT A SCAB WHO IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING AND GET OFF YOUR UNION ASSES AND START A DAMN FUND FOR THESE GUYS.

These guys seem to have a pretty good reputation, Unlike the car repo industry. Probably because they are actually required to present paperwork before they run off with the vehicle. Well also the whole auto towing industry is just inherently shady, their dishonesty usually overshadows the by the book stuff.

“It’s not like they do on TV.”

Well, unless you watched the first season of Airplane Repo that actually did show a more realistic side of it before going for their made for TV B.S. stories.
