I have to ask, if Bedford succeeds in selling off 50.1%, thereby removing the stipulation you refer to in your contract, would you then support letting us go in peace? (The fact that you said it is 'simple' seems to say that this is your only real reason for opposing such a thing.)

Come up with enough money and it's all yours.

Lanyard wars?? These wars are simply made up and started by a few extremely immature F9 pilots...some of these tools have had the nerve to tell our guys they can't use their own non-rev benefits and sit in an open seat. What an absolute joke..happened a few days ago from an F9 CA who I'm pretty sure was on To Catch A Predator. Loved the mullet and bad 80's mustache. D-bag.

For me, no. We have to sell 100% and have no liability. No shell company games or reduction of equity to 49.9% with farcical kick backs to FAPAInvest LLC.

It's a good thing that your opinion doesn't matter.

I believe I know of whom you are speaking and your assessment is extremely accurate. I apologize for his behavior. Our DO just put put out a memo reminding the pilot group to be professional and accommodating to RAH pilots and non-revs.

Did the RAH pilot get on? I non-reved on a 190 a month ago and both the cockpit and cabin crew were super to me. Thanks to DEN based 190 Captain Tony, FO Sean, F/A's Monte and Diane for the ride from DEN to OMA. I was hesitant to introduce myself and didn't really feel I HAD to as a non-rev, but I'm glad I did.

I'm an F9 guy and that is my dream as well. To get the @#^% away from the IBT.

Cheers T5

You know the funny thing is BB never mentioned anything about the F9 pilots staying F9 pilots. He just stated that they were going to separate F9 from RP. In fact, he did say that F9 needed significant cost reductions which makes me think that, knowing F9 guys want out from IBT, BB's gonna use that to get the F9 guys to give up more to be a completely stand alone. I can hear the cracking of the whips already!

Nor yours my friend ; )

The lanyards were for solidarity for IBT vs the company, not F9. Timing was just bad with the whole representation vote and all. Those lanyards all went out in January. I could see how some thought it was directed toward F9, but it wasn't.
