On another note, why are you posting on here, shouldn't you be agreeing to more concessions? There's really no other way to say this, but if you believe anything that BB has to say and believe that he cares about you...well...you're simply not very intelligent.
FAPA will be here as long as Frontier Airlines exists.
If Frontier is sold, FAPA will once again be the bargaining agent for the Frontier pilots.
If Frontier is not sold, Frontier will no longer exist so FAPA will no longer be necessary.
I fail to understand your repeated statements about concessions. No Frontier pilot took a cut in hourly pay with LOA 67. No work rules were changed. Our 6.2% DC fund wasn't touched. I did lose a small amount of sick accrual going forward, and I lost three days of vacation going forward for a couple years. I won't feel the vacation becuase we bid hard lines and we can slide our vacation forward or backwards three days to cover sequences. I lost the company match to my 401k, but that will contractually return in two months, before any other employee on the property receives their match (if they ever get it back).
So, I gave up a fraction of a day of sick accrual and my 401k match for a few months. In return, I stand to receive a piece of a $50 million claim for equity and a piece of a 50% share of any profits over a small, single digit margin.
The equity and profit sharing may never come, but I didn't give up anything in exchange for those benefits. I am not counting on either to pay, but if they do that will just be icing on the cake.
If you consider that a concession, then I can't convince you otherwise, nor do I really care.
