Come yank my gear and maybe we can hash out our differences.

I love Dirty Rats!

What I really love is that you now lump the Frontier people into your BS.
All your Sh-t went down before we were on the property. Move along like you said you have because they way it seems is you have no stake in this any more.
Flamebait gets you nowhere!

I love Dirty Rats!

I have a new nickname for you: BB! Bitter B_atch!
Maybe after we get past all of this non-sense, Bolo and I can hit the recording studio and do a remake of this:

YouTube - ‪Sir Mix-A-Lot - I like big butts ( Official Music Video )‬‏

Probably could replace "I love big butts" with "I love dirty rats" and still keep the groove on, huh?

This is going to go over like a lead balloon I'd guess, but the efforts you are seeing unfold right now are music to our ears. You would be hard pressed to find one F9 pilot who wants to be any part of RAH, especially after watching this 2 year freak show. RAH has just about succeeded in burying Frontier. This current situation in WAY bigger than either of our pilot groups. But, I'll me more than happy if it all plays out where I can wake up one day soon, shake my head, and say "wooo, that must have just been a really bad dream!"

Uh, I hate to tell you this but your bad dream is about to turn into a nightmare. Do any of you F9 and Republic people read your local newspaper? Mine said a little company based in New York called Jet Blue just made a major aircraft order yesterday from Airbus worth 2 Billion. All those airplanes have got to go some where. All I can tell you is get your resume ready. You're going to need it by the end of the year. F9 will not exist by this time next year in it's present form. If the name is still in tact, it will be name only flown by Republic scum.

I'm banking on it existing this time next year in it's past form, an independent operation totally unglued from RAH. If the name does not remain the same, then something better than Republic Airlines should be on the side. I can only hope.

So the IBT has had nearly the entire day to digest the newest developments. Almost as much time as we have since being informed of them by those who represent us in these types of things. Any communication from the IBT to you guys? If not, you guys better start pestering your reps. They work for you! It sucks to think that the organization who might still possibly represent me in the future is so selective about what they share with their membership.

I would prefer the organization representing me to take the time to study the situation and to wait to issue a response based upon a thorough study.

I would certainly not wish them to act in haste regardless of how much hay a proven antagonist is trying to make; or worse yet: in response to the attempted haymaking.

Last week BB promised to sell controlling interest... so tomorrow jetBlue buys Frontier! .......... ?

Much better to get your information from APC anyway, huh? Good news comes fast at the IBT, but when it's not so good it seems to take days. It's funny when Republic pilots start contacting Frontier pilots asking for information related to a document in the hands of both pilots unions. Anyway, I was just pointing out the obvious. They'll eventually get around to telling you the details of today's submission to the NMB. But, maybe not until they've studied it thouroughly enough (and without haste) to tell you what they want you to hear. Can you at least tell me whether they mentioned anything funky going on? Or just total silence?

Besides taking shots at the IBT357, lack of communication like this bothers me even more knowing that I may be part of the IBT357 loop in the future. Probably not though.

A lot of management meddling during a union representation drive, also during section 6 negotiations. I'm thinking an old fashion "lawyer up" is coming. FAPA has a 2 million dollar kitty (no sense having it if you don't spend it) Republic has Henson and the boys. I think the Teamsters could dig up a paralegal or two who may have dabbled in labor law. Maybe we could have an "Anchor Man" style news rumble. Only rule is no touching of the hair or face!

I'll bring my trident.....
