You want the IBT to uphold your CBA, but yet you continue to throw them under the bus and say you are too good for them. I am glad that I am not there! There are mainline guys that will support the strike better than you, and they aren't even brothers and sisters! Just fellow pilots that see the good in this.
Only something between 13 and 25 Frontier pilots are members of 357.
The IBT won a fixed election,
then promptly sued our membership. They are still trying to steal our money and continue to harass the Frontier pilot group in every way they can. What part of that encourages cooperation and unity?
The ONLY reason their are "upholding" (administrating) our CBA is that they have a legal obligation to do so. To do otherwise would be laying a DFR suit wrapped with a bow on FAPA's doorstep.
I'm glad, for you, that you aren't here also. It's an untenable situation for all CHQ, F9 L4 and MEA pilots.
An honest question that I don't know the answer to: If the pilots of one Airline represented by IBT Local 1224 strikes, do the other pilots under 1224 strike?
