Boy Scouts, I think not.
You should have just included a link to Billy Walker's report. By leaving out the first third it does not tell the true story. Like I wrote earlier, the Frontier MEC asked for something the UAL MEC could/would not deliver. We had just come off a strike that ultimately lead to a B-Scale for new hires and now the Frontier Pilots ask for the UAL MEC to accept them as a group with much lower pay rates. Wishful thinking by the Frontier pilots but the UAL pilots would have hung Roger Hall had he accepted B-Scale rates for Captains. It's a far reach to try to blame the UAL pilots for what happened to the Frontier pilots. Re-read the whole letter, especially the first third. YES, Boy Scouts!
