Wow, from the 357 conference call today, Frontier Management told the EBoard on Tuesday that Frontier is going to furlough.

357 is filing a group grievance to let Frontier pilots fly the 190’s and the Q400’s, so they can fill the vacancies at Atlantic City and Laughlin, NV.

It was funny, one Board member started to lie about the grievance, “That’s not true, we haven’t filed that, so I don’t know where you’re hearing it.”

Then another EBoard member, who was much more truthful explained why they are going to file the grievance. Shame on the first one for trying to lie!

They say they HAVE to do this to avoid a DFR suit, I guess from Frontier pilots, but what about a DFR suit from native RAH pilots who don’t get to upgrade or are displaced?

If a Frontier pilot gets to bid a 190, what is their longevity and what do they get paid? Do they get their IMSL seniority? Do they get to bid a base over RAH pilots?

Do we (FO’s) get to bid the Busses, what’s our longevity and pay? Do we get to use our IMSL (not that it would affect anything for us tier 3 pilots)?

What is the grievance based on? Was there a CBA violation or are we grieving the Eischen award?

How do the Frontier pilots move from one company to another? Will they be under our CBA or the Frontier CBA?

Why did we have to hear it on a conference call instead of a Blast, PDU or something?

Oh, and bonuses are $100/year up to $1000, the rich at the top get richer…

Frontier gets nothing, which is what they earned this year.
