So now maybe some Front.....errr i mean Republic A320 pilots can explain to me how they would separate them from the seniority list. IBT isn't going to let them split up the pilots so that only the Airbus pilots get to escape. So then Bedford would sell off 'assets' like a garage sale. HOLY CRAP HES ALREADY DOING THAT!
Separating the IMSL isn't impossible, and your first paragraph is factually inaccurate.
No one can definitively say how this will play out, but I will tell you this much...we are going to see it attempted very soon.
Finally, the IBT has backed themselves into an un-winnable situation. They can either leave us alone and lose the property they never actually one or they can pursue their continues vendetta against the Frontier pilots and end up on the receiving end of an epic DFR litigation. They are already guilty of DFR, the only thing left is "harm".
