I think you guys need to read the other thread from our union president. It paints a much different picture than the perceived arrogance of SWAPA.

SWAPA made a pretty generous offer and FAPA wouldn't respond or even talk about concessions. They ignored SWAPA attempts to communicate and asked for $3,000 bucks a month for their furloughed pilots along with a $1,000/month allowance for COBRA. Oh, and they wanted 100% domicile protection forever. You cannot successfully integrate a pilot group when the pilots of one domicile are all from another company.

If there is any hubris here, it is FAPA. They obviously didn't want to work anything out with SWAPA. I think the fact that their president was on the creditors board tells me that he had his mind made up on RAH a long time ago. Instead of being straight up about it, FAPA played hide and seek with SWAPA. I believe SWAPA played fairly and all SWA guys would have welcomed F9 guys with open arms. But it seems FAPA viewed it as a toxic relationship. It wasn't meant to be. Best of luck to the Frontier guys.
