The RAH pilot group can only do so much. We can:

1. Bring Midwest pilots onto our list
2. Negotiate pay rates that approximate those Midwest enjoyed in the past.

Step one is happening now. Step two is happening now. Step one will be completed sooner than step two.

Once on the RAH seniority list, Midwest pilots will have the opportunity to bid over to the Frontier Airbus as allowed by the F9/RAH integration (to be determined). Midwest pilots will have a chance to restore their pay and careers. Did TWA pilots have that? Are AA pilots "virtual scabs"?

Just remember, every fence and advantage you wish upon the F9 pilots will be an obstacle for YX pilots who are trying to restore their pay. The new 190 will have a higher payrate than currently included in the RAH contract, but it will not be the old 717 rate this time around. I hope and will vote otherwise, but the most likely outcome is captain pay in the $110-$120 range. The bigger focus will be on FO pay. YX pilots will not recover their pay for the next 5 or so years UNLESS they have access to the Airbus. Still want fences?
