Good company to be a part of, right now, even though the pay stinks. But the way I look at it, it can only go up from here... Of course, one will have to hope that the RAH deal doesn't involve pink slips for us, then I guess the pay would go to 0...
Great group of pilots, great mountain flying, and I get to hear F-16 stories from Waldo. Rumor is that they put all those mirrors in the cockpit just for him.
Chaff, flares... continue.
Hopefully, this company is a success story and a great place to be for years to come. Time will tell.

Hence the million dollar question and why a lot of us were signing UTU cards the other day: WE DON'T KNOW
Also, Lynx is wholly owned by Frontier so yes we are part of the deal.
Republic: Teamsters
Midwest: ALPA
Frontier: FAPA
Lynx: ???
UTU maybe?
May the battle of the unions begin!

Why should they. ALPA does not offer anything other than rules that ties the MEC hands. Secondly, anything that ALPA offers to an ALPA represented pilot group has a cost to it, they charge the MEC. As a non ALPA union you can still get the same services as an ALPA union except you wont have ALPA up you ass, all you have to do is pay for it, remember they charge whether you are ALPA or not.
At eagle we had requested a financial breakdown on AMR, APLA kept telling us it was not ready yet. Our MEC had visited APA president to discuss some issues on a particular day and guess what was on the APA presidents desk, the financial report that we requested which ALPA had said was not complete or ready yet.
Go independent.

Anyways, it may be that ALPA Economic & Financial Analysis Department is trying to do a thorough job rather than farm it out to some third party financial analysis like some of the independents do at their members expense.
Go ALPA!

You're funny!
Oh wait, you're serious aren't you?
I'm sorry then. Actually, I was told THEY were the ones that would not talk to us.
I agree on your point about independent unions though. We just are not large enough for one, but there are other unions besides ALPA. As for Teamsters though, I have doubts if they could fairly represent us against Republic. So I guess that leaves UTU.

Looks that way.
I've been told ALPA would not even return phone calls. UTU and the Teamsters did.

I'm supprised Teamsters even called you back. At Lakes, under the Teamsters regime, We got no attention on any matter; grivences would go responded to for years and the company had their way with the contract and the Pilot group.
When looking for another agent, we had three choices: stay with Teamsters, go with ALPA, or the UTU. UTU won the vote overwelmingly! Teamsters were not a good option because we were not getting ANY representation and ALPA... well, just look at Mesa, they are in worse shape than we are.
