Spirit Pilots: ON STRIKE

Hundreds of pilots walk off the job
to demand fair contract

At 5:01 a.m., June 12, Spirit pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), went on strike against their company—and will not return to the cockpit until a fair and equitable contract is negotiated. Pilot negotiators agreed to extend the strike deadline twice in order to review final proposals put forth by both parties to keep the airline running. In the end, both sides could not reach an agreement.

Please show your support for the Spirit pilots by joining the picket lines today at LaGuardia, Atlantic City, Fort Lauderdale, and Detriot.

  • Picketing will be conducted at these 4 designated airports from 11 a.m to 1 p.m.
  • Please wear your uniform.
