IBT 357 has had representatives at disciplinary hearings, but I haven't heard of any of their representatives changing the course of a hearing.

357 has done a good job in effectively pursuing grievances. I honestly don't know if that is due to the work of Marc or others at 357 or if the grievances were pretty cut and dried.

I don't doubt you, but I don't know of any arbitration that has occurred since RAH and F9 "became one."

Are you referring to "native" RAH issues that were arbitrated or have there been any arbitration on the F9 side?

Have the "arbitration awards" been in favor of 357 or F9 or have we lost all or some of them?

To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't even been a System Board of Adjustment hearing since IBT took over. That's not to say that 357 hasn't pursued issues that should have gone to SBA, it's just that there have been no issues requiring a SBA.

It is my understanding that 357 can't legally staff a System Board of Adjustment with F9 pilots, as required under the Frontier/FAPA CBA, because there aren't enough F9 pilots that are members of 357. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me.

And, of course, the LOA 67 litigation being pursued by the IBT is to the determent of the F9 pilots. We view the lawsuit as a purposeful, malicious threat to the career and future of every F9 pilot.

That is the primary reason 99% of F9 pilots are not members of 357. F9 pilots feel that 357 is using the money generated by our dues to harm F9 pilots, why pay any more than what is absolutely required (Financial Core Fee Objector) if the money is being used against us?

Just a perspective...

Still searching for those "certain words in a certain specific order that can explain all of this."
