Can you guys explain in a nutshell what is going on?
I do know that Republic bought Frontier a couple of years ago. That's it - that's all I know.
What exactly are you guys angry about?
thx,

Here it is from a former Midwest pilot who lost my 20+ year career to both these pathetic groups. Plays out like this. RAH bought a bankrupt Frontier after the dumbest move by any pilot group in the history of aviation when the F9 pilots refused a merger offer with SWA. Claimed it would had resulted in loss of jobs. RAH buys them and Midwest, sells off Midwest and throws their pilots out in the streets where they remain today. Now, Frontier pilots feel they should be a separate entity and should not have to let any of the pond scum RAH pilots fly the Holy Airbus. For some reason, the F9 pilots feel they are the only ones entitled to that airplane. Now they are fighting over which sorry union is going to represent them. They are to blind to see they are a sinking ship. Truth is, they deserve each other. RAH is a low life, low ball airline and F9 cannot stand on it's own. I just like watching them blame each other and am thankful I will never have to join this mess with these particular pilots. I hope they all sink.
