Republic’s terms are initial “asks” and not changes that will be casually forced upon us. Republic has indicated that they plan to operate Frontier as a separate fenced off company and not merge seniority lists."

I am not disagreeing with you that your contract states what you say it does. However, if there was going to be a merger in seniority lists, then why would they even ask for "unlimited scope relief"? Which...BB...did...ask...for. Perhaps BB thinks you will relax parts of your contract to allow Frontier to operate separately. He may exchange this for industry standard 170/190 pay (lets hope and pray!). That would save all those training costs. The point is that nobody knows. Lets just hope another bidder comes along and outbids RAH. If not, then lets hope there is no merger and Frontier operates separately.

Is this really what it has come to in this profession.... mainline pilots asking the regional pilots for scope relief.......
