Ed,
Republic and Frontier's Union have already agreed to a T/A (tentative agreement) . A fence is in place to protect the F9 Flying based on pilot career expectations of the company each pilot was hired into..... Obviously if you wee hired by Republic to fly an RJ your career expectations were different than those hired by Frontier and pay rates are protected for the next 5 years.
Seniority on equipment is protected until the last F9 pilot upgrades, Quality of Life issues... good. Schedules - Great, Benefits acceptable.... but most important...the FUTURE holds GROWTH.... Airbus is part of that and this is THE best part of the deal....
Here's the link to the actual article and other comments. (His status with F9 was made in the message immediately preceding this on the blog.)
Republic wins bid for Frontier, beats Southwest - USATODAY.com
Any thoughts ...
