Well played Airbill. touché!

Let me turn the tables on a RAHbro once again by asking "what your point is?" You appear to be seeking for clarification of my comments regarding an unnamed CHQ pilot who made a mistake. First of all, why are we bringing names into the discussion? Why have the personal addiction problems and subsequent career ramifications of a certain F9 pilot become a talking point? All because I mentioned a similar instance with an unnamed CHQ pilot that blew up in the news with nearly zero reference to CHQ and nearly 100% to Frontier? I am simply pointing out that the actions of those not working under the F9 certificate are fully capable of negatively impacting the Frontier brand, whether it be staggering into the hotel van while preparing to show for duty or using images of brands of companies whom RAH contracts with as a means of pressuring them to the bargaining table.

For the record, at Frontier we have systems in place to deal with substance abuse and addiction issues (not to mentioned FAR violations) when they arise and the company is made aware. I am not privy to the information related to the specific individual whom you chose to identify, so am unable to comment any further on his situation.

Frontier employees are fully capable of making their own mistakes or taking actions which garner negative publicity for the company. Fortunately for you, the Chautauqua, Shuttle and/or Republic names don't generally get dragged into the discussion. The pilot whom you identified had an addiction problem, made poor decisions and paid for it with his career. Any negative publicity shone upon Frontier was deserved as he was one of our employees.

That's about all I need to say. You've made an effort to redefine the discussion as a tit for tat of who's who in the drunk pilot world. You win! You also exposed your true character in doing so. I'm simply amazed at the immaturity often displayed by some of you.
