Can you please cite some examples of FAPAs efforts to "intentionally destruct" your pilot group's efforts to negotiate a better CBA? Your representatives have been doing a stellar job of that on their own for the past 5+ years or whatever it is.
Unlike the IBT, Frontier pilots don't wake up in the morning devising a new way to screw you or the company. Most of us would be more than happy to see you all score a new and improved CBA. In the best of cases it really won't affect us so why not see the RAHbros do well for themselves? In the worst of cases, it would bode well for me when I get bumped out of the Airbus in 6 years to fly something different.
Unfortunately, today more than ever, I think you guys are heading in the wrong direction. You are taking absolutely ZERO responsibility for any of the contentious issues currently festering around you. Everything is the fault of the company, right? They are a bunch of pathological liars, right?
You have all chosen the absolute best (and I sincerely mean that) representatives if winning PR and misinformation campaigns is the goal. Heller and BB could have had an epiphany and realized that they need to change their ways and give you everything you want and you'd still find fault with them. IBT appears disinterested in taking prisoners in this war.
You guys better damn right start calling out your eBoard when something smells fishy. Only problem is they are the best at covering up the stink. Don't say you don't want to distract them from their duties of fighting management. It is OK to challenge your reps. Especially, face to face. It's a lot easier to tell whether they are lying or not when you look them in the eye.
