The management at republic is going to do whatever they choose without any regard for what either pilot group thinks. Fly it and Grieve is apparently in the bible. Currently it is a wash as one poster noted. I would not be afaird to bet that along with the deal to purchase the 10 E190's from airways there is another deal yet to be announced to lease A318s to US Air from Frontier. This is what the "Rev" calls right sizing the fleet. He will furlough the French Boat drivers in favor of the lower paid Jungle Bus skippers. Until we as the 4 labor RAH, F9, Lynx, YX labor groups can get a integration of seniority no one will be able to cross bid a certificate. I am assuming Big B is hoping that drags on long enough so he can "right size" the pilot group as well.

As it stands any pilot taking an illegal job action will end up fired and unfortunately the railway labor act supports that. If you want to get the power back into labors hands the RLA needs to be repealed.
