Your points have validity but miss as well. I’m trying to keep this as short as possible because otherwise this would be much too long to read.

Why do Unions exist? In particular airline unions? What happened after WW2 when there was a massive surplus of pilots now in the industry? Why were we told for generations that regionals couldn’t pay anymore than poverty wages and then suddenly overnight they could afford 400% pay increases?

Anerican steel was lost because the US government didn’t defend our steel against slave labor prices and sub par quality.

American car manufacturers lost because they told the American public what cars they wanted when the foreign manufactures actually produced what Americans wanted.



The bedrock of ALPA is equal pay for equal work. Pilots of Frontier have known and been screaming for years that management was mismanaging the airline into oblivion and now we are having to suffer the consequences of that mismanagement. Pilots have more invested into an airline than any other work group due to the constraints of the seniority system. We want it to succeed so we can succeed. The questions is how will we come to an accord to ensure that success?
