The FAPA boys will be far less high and mighty sitting in the same wreckage pile the Midwest guys are in. All with the RAH flag on top. 18 months - tops.
The difference is the Midwest guys took the high road, and were shot off it by their management. The FAPA guys are coming up from the gutter with this most recent concession garbage. Midwest will be remembered as a great airline with a proud and fondly remembered pilot group. Frontier will be remembered as the one of the last pilot groups that tried to subvert the entire industry to save their tails.

CptMrgn,
How would they "fit in at F9", you say? I'm guessing they'd be slightly more experienced than a regional guy, but not quite enough on their resume to get hired by a real airline, right?
That's why they're applying to F9 in the first place?
Get over yourself with the "greater than thou" attitude, especially coming from F9, which is nothing more than a "stepping stone, regional-esque" airline in the first place. Much like Midwest "was", and no longer "is".

Regards screening in hiring, one of the reasons for Southwest's success is that they're very careful about that. it does matter, and having been at a regional, I know that there's a filtering process between the regionals and the larger airlines. Now we don't have that, and it makes me concerned. It's not about the 95% of RAH pilots that are great, it's the other 5% whose impact outweighs their numbers. That 5% was getting whittled down to about 1% in the hiring process.
For those who think that Airbus doesn't care about our participation in concessions, they have already called FAPA to thank us.

That's like being excited Pfizer called to say thanks for being impotent so they can sell you more Viagra.

I can't believe the Frontier pilots would vote themselves a paycut and then brag about it on here like they just received an industry leading contract. They truly do compare themselves to the regionals instead of the majors. They deserve Republic and everything that comes with that (Bedford).

You and your RAH "brothers" are solely responsible for any anger directed towards you for helping kill off Midwest and stabbing 400 Union pilots in the back.

Mr. Fishfreighter, I keep asking this question but none of you self-righteous critics wants to answer. What would you have done if you were a RAH guy in that same situation?
