You're post is wrong, I said we SHOULD be paid at least what Spirit makes, if not more, they are our peers. People here just want a reason to complain and it is very frustrating.

I don't ever pull the "I am the Captain card," unless I absolutely have to. I will quickly overrule anyone who is trying to take illegal work actions into their own hands. There is absolutely no reason to admonish someone for doing their job correctly, which is basically what happened to me. Why do you care what color my lanyard is? That's none of your business.

By the way, I would be very careful on here, many people are basically admitting to illegal work actions. These people who are constantly running the APU and insisting on two engine taxi everywhere, and writing up the smallest, stupidest things, it will catch up with you...

Guys and gals. It's about time to declare a ceasefire and re-focus. We all want the same thing, a vastly improved contract. Some of us disagree on the length of time this will take and the methods being used to accomplish this task. We pay our dues and elect our union leadership, we may not like every elected individual but this union still belongs to us. Our union is currently trying to unify us, but we have to participate; this informational picketing is less for the company and more for us! Do you have questions about the contract bargaining process and can make yourself free on 19APR? If so, then you are in luck because there will be plenty of union reps there to answer questions. I'm sure we will be meeting at our ALPA MEC office next door to the G.O. There will be more to this pilot gathering than standing around with signs on Tower Rd.

Some disclosure, I'm a former regional pilot that had turned anti-ALPA. And I wasn't that excited to see ALPA come on property. But I'm impressed with the speed and efficiency demonstrated by our ALPA team in advancing our agenda via RLA process. In my opinion, the only way to accomplish the task of securing a vastly improved improved contract are with methods currently being utilized. After all, it is Indigo Partners we have been dealt. Yes, it would feel good to "stick it to the man" but we can't organize a slow-down in any fashion if we wish to continue making progress via legal means.

We were in negotiations for 6 months before being granted a mediator, that is unreal! We surely have the most favorable mediator that our union could ask for, out of a dozen other options. This ball is in our court, the time to unify is now.

Throw on your uniform, (dust off your hats) and please join me at the picket. We're your friends and your co-workers, regardless of your opinions, we want all of you there.

I still think we would've been better served to remain FAPA. I believe that behind closed doors - when the rubber meets the road - those guys in Herdon, VA at ALPA are not looking out for us in the long run. They want to support the old school business model of the legacy carriers. They view Frontier as a glorified regional.

We must stick together. Whether it be a sports team lanyard or a ALPA lanyard, I'm just not much of a lanyard guy. It's just not my sytle, but I am going to start wearing an orange lanyard.

Unity.
