Jetalc I guess the irony depends on where you start your timeline. For me it's when Frontier agreed to binding arbitration, got a look at the list, then decided they didn't want it and have since been pulling a US Airways. Prior to the acquisition of F9 what was your opinion of the East/West situation? I'm willing to be it was inline with what almost everyone else thinks.... I'd rather F9 fold before it be allowed to continue to operate separately.
If F9 wanted to be represented more you could have easily ran for the recently elected officer positions in the union. Each person, including the Midwest pilot, ran unopposed. The IBT is administering your contract as is required. They do support their members. If you are not a member then you cannot complain.
