Your coworker thinks that because people go to work for lower than standard wages that they are considered scabs...
...Once again that's not the definition of a scab. Different company, different union, and different pilot group.
You really have a tough time with clarity of thought.
A scab is someone who crosses a picket line. Period.
I'm assuming you are referring to me in the second sentence above, and it's not what I said.
On the third line, company, union and pilot group
have absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm guessing that you were misinformed by IBT and/or you are new in the industry, so I guess I can forgive your lack of knowledge. I'll attempt to inform you on some other items:

Not the kind of company I would want to take my company over. That's just my opinion.
Are you honestly saying that FAPA is composed of and run by someone other than the Frontier pilots? In sueing over LOA 67, IBT is attacking the careers of
EVERY Frontier pilot.
FAPA had nothing to do with the outcome of the Southwest bid. Even if we had rolled over, the bid would have still been turned down. Decisions like that are made by management, not unions.

And by that, you mean for
us to stand with

Here's a better question: If we get to negotiating an amalgamated contract, and the RAH pilots authorize a strike, but the F9 pilots don't, what happens?
