I'm sure it's a he said/she said type of thing. If you read the PR from F9 it sounds like they dumped us. Everybody is trying to spin this in a positive light for their cause I guess. I also think it might have been a smart move in the long term. If Frontier goes under the company would probably have to take much more drastic actions than what they're doing on their terms.
I have always appreciated F9, they treat jumpseaters right and their management seems like the kind you'd want to work for. I hope they pull through because I have friends at F9 and Lynx. The ultimate losers, as always, are the employees. RP guys being displaced, new hires being told to go home. It all sucks.
