Whatever lawyer is out there, famous or not, I'm about ready to call them. Short, sweet and to the point: Spirit's severance check to me is STILL not in the mail and is STILL not deposited into my bank account, as promised by the station manager back on August 29.
Phone calls have been made, and have either not been returned, or been treated to lip service. Apparently, nobody in the department (which comprises one single room) ever sees each other. How can this be, when they are scheduled to work the same hours and the same days?
Not having what was promised to me is proving to be heart-wrenching. Rent is a never-ending fiasco at the 1st of every month. With my cab fare share, I can get the rent, but what about the utilities? Steve still owes me money, and to his credit he's been working his can off. He's been giving me what he can, and it has helped. But the budget I had in mind for the rest of 2007 was based on the pair of checks Spirit would give me. I got one of them at the beginning of last month.
Who knows if they're even going to send it through?
This could prove damaging, I think, if it keeps going like this. Throw a lawyer on the case, and they'd be out more money than if they just paid me now. The station manager wouldn't look too brilliant, either.
Actually, now that I'm on the outside looking in as far as the airline goes, near the tops of the Google list for Spirit is this blog by blogger Alex Rudloff, simply saying not to fly Spirit (NOTE: This link puts you at comment #436; please navigate that page for links back to the initial page of comments if you so choose).
I added my two cents into the responses from the public, which at the time labelled four hundred people. Four hundred! Third on the Google list for most hits. Absolutely amazing. Does anybody look brillant over there now?
I've seen the redesign of the planes (another messy, loud color look), and that their uniforms are even going to have sponsors. Did I really want to be sponsored by Geico? Wouldn't that equate me to the Caveman?
If that's the way management thinks of me when they decide, or they forget, to send me what was promised me through a corporate email, hopefully a few calls from me will change that in a hurry.
