Quick answer: RPC

Long answer:

I still need to learn more about the RPC idea, but I like what I've learned so far. I'll spend the next few weeks learning as much as I can to see what I think the best option would be from my perspective. But to answer your question, I will not be writing in FAPA, nor do I imagine any of the Frontier pilots will.

It seems to me that RPC is a bargaining representative structure that the NMB would recognize as the bargaining representative for all of us. If I understand it correctly, the RPC (being a group of RAH and F9 pilots) would then delegate the day to day administration, negotiations, etc. of each existing CBA to the "bargaining agent" of choice as determined by those working under each CBA. Probably IBT and FAPA for starters, but it really doesn't need to be either of them. The key is that RPC would allow us to take a major step towards unifying our pilot groups without all of the bad blood associated with forcing one group into representation they do not want. It's a "bridge" in a way. Through the RPC, both sides can utilize the experiences and resources of the other to jointly pursue the overall interests of the 2 CBA's. By working together in a joint/cooperative capacity like this, we hopefully can move past the bad blood that has been created by this process. After all, we are all essentially the same, right? Airline Pilots, but working under different capacities under different certificates. To me, RPC looks like a better option as far as the relationship goes. It gives us all time to mend the divisiveness while pilots from both side work as one to guide the overall direction of the labor relationship with the company. Given success there, then I see no reason why RPC may be a huge stepping stone towards the goal of overall integrated unity. It's certainly worth exploring if you ask me.

I tell you what, I'm not going to vote IBT as I have too many issues with them. That's just me (and probably all of my comrades here at F9). I'm also not going to write-in FAPA or ALPA. I like the RPC idea so unless something crazy happens, RPC will get my vote.
