We are seeing the true colors of the RAH management, and they are getting defensive. They were the recipient of misplaced affection post bankruptcy and now that they are dismantling F9 and throwing away L3 they wonder why people are angry.
Months ago BB spoke of a lack of trust from Frontier employees towards RAH and how that was troubling. Now he's complaining that the local paper wont print his spin. Everyone at RAH I assume gets his weekly letters. The first one since L3's demise was announced almost a month ago just came out and not one mention of our shutdown, not one.
This is not a company that cares at all about it's employee's despite their rhetoric.

Check the 2/5 memo from the Rev. He mentions Republic being approached by parties wanting to buy Lynx. Then he proceded to talk about lent for a few paragraphs. I'm sure BB is counting on some of the Lynx pilots comming over, since only 60% of the furloughed guys are accepting recall.

Bedford does not want to bring in 20yr payscale guys on to the property. If he can stop it he will, he has also shown he doesn't care about getting his hands dirty either. Personally I don't agree with it or care for the way they do business, but understand who you are dealing with.
That letter that got sent out changing your status from furloughed to terminated, a mistake? Sounds more like some hr idiot jumped the gun and sent it to early. That's how we usually find out about the companies plans.
Honestly good luck guys

What would you suggest the pilots of RAH do to help out this whole situation. Do you have any suggestions?

All this pilot-on-pilot blaming seems to be just a pilots too lazy to blame the real culprits: unscrupulous and inept airline managers.
