Bedfords letter to the RAH pilots
Republic Pilots, represented by the IBT, informed by Republic Holdings CEO Bryan Bedford at a Pilot meeting that their seniority list would not be merged with F9’s. Bedford states that if the Republic Pilots refuse to allow for separate lists he will not take controlling interest (but will still be the majority investor) in Frontier so as not to trigger the IBT’s Scope provisions.

On another note where's the letter to the pilots this thread title was hinting to?

Being a majority investor and not having controlling interest doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter what he does with the company if he purchases 100% at the beginning that's all that's required for the contract to take affect.

That is correct. BB has expressed to us in a "Town Hall Meeting" style podcast that he has no intentions whatsoever in merging seniority lists with F9. He said that he wants to negotiate this with the IBT first, and if no agreement is made he would relinquish control of F9 in order to prevent the training costs nightmare and the bitter reaction from F9 pilots.
The IBT will probably not go for that. But they will go for putting up fences in order to protect the F9 guys/girls seats. Also BB mentioned that he would like to see a deal where if growth is achieved in the F9 or RW certificates, then instead of hiring from the street, he would like to see pilots to be able to bid for that across certificates. If we buy more Airbuses, then RW guys would have first pick to bid for those FO positions, and if more 190's come in then F9 people could probably upgrade on this side of the fence...
Let's see what happens... who knows, WN can bid, purchase and then shut down their competition....
