Once Frontier pilots are on the RAH seniority list, however it happens, the payscales for the aircraft they fly must be negotiated for by our(including frontier) union. This will take leverage away from the company and give it to the pilots. The aircraft can't be operated without agreed upon wages(unless i'm reading things wrong). By having the Frontier guys get on our seniority list quickly there is no means for the company to whipsaw with. BB is currently wanting scope removed from F9. If that happens he could say "take a cut on the bus or we put 190s on it" which we all know is a bad deal. With you guys on the RAH seniority that can't happen. That in itself is proof enough. One way or another the seniority list must be merged per the contact it would be beneficial to both groups for it to happen before he uses each one as weapons against the other in my opinion. I don't feel any F9 guy owes us anything. Of course that goes both ways.
