This is a whole new aircraft, with a whole new set of rules and actually...a lot more leverage for the pilot group.

I think that's exactly what's going to happen. I've talked to many RAH pilots who were drooling over the thought of getting the 190...the Airbus will be a breeze. Either way, sad day for Frontier pilots...or just pilots in general.

JS ing on Frontier last week. Gate agent stated that Mgmt had been in MKE looking at hangar space. MEH has a lot of unused space now

RAH IS A REGIONAL AIRLINE...FLYING MAINLINE PLANES FOR REGIONAL PAY. If anybody is expecting anything more than that...they need to get a psych evaluation.

Have you even read your contract? Why in hell would you assume that BB can simply get a bigger plane. The rates we have go to 99 seats. No other aircraft can be added to the RAH fleet without union approval on newly negotiated rates. These aircraft will be fenced if kept and on their own payscale for the F9 guys/gals.
