I don't know if I am misreading the question or if you are throwing darts but bringing up the IMSL to an F9 pilot is like sending a guy a video of you banging his wife. Many of us have brain damage over the IMSL, it was a painful episode.
Eichen interpreted a dispute over this issue back in September 2014. The summary of the award is as follows;
1) The Eischen Award does not compel Frontier to offer new first officer positions on Airbus aircraft to pilots on the IMSL, according to their IMSL seniority, before Frontier may hire new pilots off the street.
2) The Eischen Award does not compel Frontier to create and offer a bid process by which Republic pilots may bid for new first officer positions on Airbus aircraft, based on their IMSL status, before Frontier may hire new pilots off the street
3) The Seniority Integration Award, with its provision making the IMSL and its Conditions/Restrictions “a part of the collective bargaining agreement(s) applicable to the combined craft or class of Flight Deck Crew Members” for Republic Airlines et al./Frontier (DRA § V (j)), does not compel Frontier Airlines, Inc. to offer new First Officer positions on Airbus aircraft to pilots on the IMSL, according to their IMSL seniority, before Frontier may hire new pilots off the street.
4) The IMSL and its Conditions/Restrictions, which have been made “a part of the collective bargaining agreement(s) applicable to the combined craft or class of Flight Deck Crew Members” for Republic Airlines et al./Frontier (DRA § V (j)), does not require Frontier to make the “Staffing Adjustment” process in Section 6 of the Frontier CBA available to Republic pilots, so they may use their IMSL seniority to bid for unfilled First Officer positions on Airbus aircraft, before Frontier may hire new pilots off the street.”
In other words, the IMSL no longer applies for any seniority rights at F9. It was a list of names when it was awarded but it was never used to fill a vacancy at F9 and it will never be used to fill a vacancy at F9 thanks to the NMB decision last fall.
I apologize if this creates a thread drift from the F9 hiring but it should be known that the IMSL has no affect on hiring or the filling of vacancies.
There is still one lawsuit pending filed by four of the former YX pilots. I have no idea when it will be resolved or what the outcome will be.
