Seems like lynx pilots are the only ones that feel that way.

Actually "Some Lynx pilots" is correct. I prefer the present option to being furloughed below all the mainline FO's at a company that might not see much growth for a while.

SWAPA says they offered the Lynx pilots the same deal as F9... but asking around in our very small company nobody seem to have heard from them. Odd!

Not odd at all. In fact, read the "Major" section of the Forum and you'll see NOTHING at all being posted by FAPA folks either. My guess is they're very silent on purpose as a the tables will be turned in the negotiation that still lies ahead of them. Vs. SWA, they were the underdog. Within RAH, Frontier is now the ultimate target.

... just a thought, but it sure would be hard for FAPA to oppose a complete seniority list integration with RAH once you're on the record as supporting it as the only acceptable option.

Good luck to all the Frontier/Lynx pilots. Saying "these are interesting times" is a bad understatement!

SWAPA did not talk to any of the Lynx pilots. They may have spoken with the management, but the official pilot workgroup for Lynx Aviation was never approached. If you have evidence to the contrary, show it.

I was told possibly classes in Oct/Nov timeframe. Still accepting resumes. Kinda surprised with our uncertain future.....

Sort of off topic, though it IS a question for Lynx pilots...

Is it SOP for you guys to bring 'em out of feather during the push? I saw someone do that on a dry ramp in BZN awhile ago, and it kind of made me wonder. If it is SOP, is there guidance regarding this practice during slippery conditions? I think I would be unwilling to do that if the ramp was at all slippery. Back at Lakes, we had a guy try that with the Beech on an icy ramp...he jacknifed with the tug and about killed the tug driver. Just curious...

It is allowed by the SOPs but it is not mandatory. More PIC discretion, I would assume due to the reasons above. I have not seen any guidance about it but, that may have been provided by one of the memos issued by our last chief pilot.

The only guidance we have is during shutdown. On a slippery ramp we are to bring the engines into Start/Feather one at a time. During pushback, it is up to the captain's discretion, however, it does specifically say we can bring them up during pushback.
