To any Allegiant pilots thinking of voting for IBT:

This is another LIE. That's three lies from IBT supporters in 2 days. This one is the biggest of the three. If it's not a lie, ATC should be able to document this without any trouble and publish supporting evidence (and not hearsay or vaguaries). FAPA was very impartial in their assessment of the situation, and I don't recall a single statement from FAPA recommending that we not join.

Prove me wrong, ATC.

IBT drove the F9 pilots away by filing suit to undo an LOA that Frontier pilots had voted for overwhelmingly (perhaps even a historically supported LOA?). They did it without any consultation or persuasion of the Frontier pilots, but with an attitude of "we know what's best for you". IBT drove the nail in the coffin of any hope of winning the support of the Frontier pilots.

They drove the other nails over the preceding months by refusing to negotiate a representation structure that would have protected the interests of the Frontier pilots against the majority vote of the RAH pilots, apparently purely to protect the IBT's financial interest in the matter. When it came to the flight attendants, they were very willing to have the same structure that FAPA had advocated, because it was in the IBT's interests to do so in that case.

If you vote for IBT (or probably for ALPA too), Allegiant's pilots' interests will take a back seat to the national organization if our history is any guide.
