Any TA between RAH management and FAPA pilots is strictly between them. Until there is a seniority integration, F9 pilots are entitled to represent themselves and negotiate a CBA as needed, independent from Teamsters and RAH pilots.

F9 pilots will operate under their separate CBA until both the RAH and F9 pilots are integrated AND RAH/Teamsters negotiate a new or revised CBA that has provisions for F9 pilots and their equipment. Likely, F9 pilots will operate under a separate CBA for at least a year.

Bedford has stated he wants to keep F9 pilots separate from RAH pilots. Whether this was lip service to soothe the fears of F9 pilots, or his actual desire remains to be seen. However, RAH scope (which has not been defeated yet) requires the F9 pilots to be integrated since Bedford acquired more than 50% of Frontier. Even if he sold half now, the process has been set in motion. I expect Bedford will continue to keep us separated as long as he can for whipsaw purposes, and will try to throw enticements our way. However, defense of scope in paramount, and we have yet to cede scope at this company. I expect that the pilot groups will be combined eventually, despite the best efforts of management.
