I believe your statement would be much more accurate if you had just said 'most (virtually all)'.

For me personally, I have nothing against regional pilots or being associated with them. For myself, and a very large percentage of current F9 pilots, the SLI was a career ending proposition with Frontier/RAH. Over 1600 regional pilots went ahead of me on the combined list. That guarantees that if seperation does not happen, I will never upgrade, will be perpetually stagnated, and continually moving down the list, as 1600 RAH pilots move in front of me.

Without seperation, there is no future for me (and a huge percentage of my F9 peers) with Frontier Airlines, and as such, I would just as soon see it fail, than to see an undeserving RAH pilot take my seat.

That idiotic windfall SLI virtually guaranteed that there could never be a long term permanent RAH/Frontier partnership (which is unfortunate).

I believe my sentiments are shared by most Frontier pilots.
