At this point, it is our belief that the IMSL is dead. But is it really? Or is there just another future lawsuit waiting to determine if it is really dead?

Any future Frontier employee (and past RAH or Midwest pilot) could file a lawsuit with a claim for my seat and their spot on the IMSL. Just like the Midwest 8 did when they got hired (the RAH that were hired at the same time did no such thing and are all fine, well liked, well respected employees at F9).

The Midwest 8 ruined it for any future Midwest or RAH pilots to be hired. Plain and simple. Actions have consequences. Lawsuits cost lots of money. The IBT also filed multiple lawsuits against FAPA and Frontier pilots. The IBT most likely has more lawsuits to file. It is my bet that we haven't heard the last from them.

So honestly, it is a slight gamble for a current Frontier pilot to have an RAH or Midwest pilot added to our seniority list. Plain and simple. Actions have consequences.

I am not part of the hiring process. But Frontier pilots just like myself are. Are they holding a grudge? Not at all. Are they being careful about some future action by an RAH employee or maybe the IBT? Possibly. I don't know. But that wouldn't surprise me. It is a reasonable concern. Actions have consequences.

The sad part is that I have good friends at RAH that would love to work at Frontier and I would love to help get hired. I know and trust these fine individuals. But I don't know and trust the 2000 others that were proudly wearing their yellow IBT lanyards during my darkest days as a Frontier pilot.
