How does a LOA ratified by a large majority of the FAPA membership - prior to IBT seizing control - qualify as being "sold out?"

Neither JT, SG or anyone else personally benefited from the transaction more than any other Frontier pilot. No "slice of the pie."

Moffatt continues to insinuate that there "may be" criminal charges. There won't be.

Moffatt states, "There's a lot of NDA's involving the sale of Frontier, but I've seen the books and there's no one that will buy them. You know the saying, 'How do you become a Millionaire in aviation, you start with a billion." Although he butchered the phrase miserably...

I doubt that Moffatt has seen Frontier's books, as he claims, but if he did and he is covered by a NDA, he certainly violated the NDA by pontificating on the viability of the Frontier business model and possible sale.

FAPA hasn't told us anything about the LOA 67 lawsuit either.

IBT had a conference call? I don't think FAPA has ever had a conference call.

At least your union doesn't alter TA's after they have been approved by the membership!

FAPA isn’t your legal representative organization, The IBT is.

FAPA isn’t attempting to take a benefit from Frontier pilots, the IBT is.

IBT acknowledges that the case is NOT in the best interest of the Frontier pilots, that Frontier pilots have no interest in pursuing the suit, AND they state, on the record, they don’t care.

The majority of the court documents are currently available on the FAPA website, and additional documents are posted as they become publicly available.

Do you personally monitor the lawsuit’s documents as they become available or wait to have it handed to you? You have heard of Google, right? Try googling what 3662 posted, “Case 1:11-cv-02007-MSK-KLM.”

FAPA doesn’t claim that the lawsuit is a “game changer” as it relates to Section six negotiations, Local 357 and CM maintains to their “native” membership that it is. I have no idea WHY they feel it will make a difference.

What part of which TA do you believe was changed after member ratification?

And, yes Local 357 has a weekly conference call. Would you rather have a weekly FAPA conference call that blows sunshine up... inside you and provides inaccurate information or no conference call?

Many of the 357 members don't even bother with the call anymore, they consider it a complete waste of time (rightly so IMO).

2. IBT is alleging that they were not consulted in the LOA/Commercial agreement, so unless the new witness gets up there and whips off his Jeff Thomas mask, I doubt there will be any evidence here.

JT isn’t the witness in question, the IBT witness was the one that failed to educate himself or be educated by counsel on the items of which he was disposed.

The magistrate judge is following civil procedure rules and allowing deposition of a properly prepared IBT witness. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing relevant to the defense that can be garnered from deposition of the new witness. The magistrate says as much in her ruling.

And yet ruled that there needed to be additional depositions of an IBT Representative that has even a remote clue regarding the matters on which he or she is disposed.

This last round of rulings/pleedings is not progress, it is minutia. You forgot to mention that two new attorneys appeared on behalf of the defendants...Wow!

That is relevant in what way? Maybe the IBT or at least Local 357 should consider the same thing, Wilder is spread too thin, Robert Mann lives in a fantasy world full of pretty graphs with squiggly lines that, on more than one occasion, were equally valid whether you held them upright or upside down.

You might benefit greatly from replacing your entire NC as well.

I predict a summary judgement in favor of the plaintiffs. Clearing up this procedural abnormality with the IBT witness prevents an appeal unless a new germane set of facts is revealed (and still unlikely there). If you've read the docket, you'd be hard pressed to see any other outcome. Had RAH/FAPAInvest not continued in their juvenile arrogant fashion, illegally dealing after the election, and had BB not written to Jeff and Scott saying "LOA/Commercial Agreement" "To keep it out of the IBT's hands", they might have a defense. However, those emails and the wire transfer, clearly establish the illegal activity.

Of course you do, that’s the IBT way, you’re right all the way through until the Arbitrator rules against you. Then it’s everyone else’s fault. You’re welcome to your opinion, you know what they say, opinions are like, let’s say belly buttons, everybody’s got one.

I’ve read the docket and many other briefings, motions and rulings through the years. Depending on the outcome you want, you can find parts that support your preconceived conclusion in any of these documents.

You can also read one party’s brief and think, “How could anyone argue against that." Then you read the next, opposing, brief and think the same thing. I think I’ll wait for the Judge to rule.

After all the IBT rhetoric, is anyone at the IBT willing to admit that LOA 67 was drafted, put out to the FAPA represented Frontier pilot membership and overwhelmingly ratified by the Frontier pilots prior to the hostile takeover by the IBT and is therefore a valid LOA?

3662 won't worry. He's an F9 pilot posing as an RAH pilot just to stir the pot. Don't be fooled by him.

As someone else pointed out, who cares who 3662 or ZooCrew really is.

If their information is accurate, the information should be considered.

I believe the gist of 3662's post is, Moffatt is either out of the loop or untruthful - which is it? And is the fate of the native RAH pilot in the hands of National or Local 357?

They seem like reasonable questions and, if I were a native RAH'er, I'd want an answer. I'm not even a native and I'd like to hear the answer...

How is making a few accurate observations about the demeanor and nature of the posts of some Frontier pilots considered "defamation?"

Also, how is it possible to "defame" the made-up user name of some anonymous agitator with a clearly demonstrated a lack of credibility?

If you knew even a portion of what you pretend, you'd already understand the the vast majority of legal processes are lawyers arguing that other lawyers are wrong. This happens all of the time.

I agree perhaps 3662 isn't a native RAH pilot, but the information he/she posted was indeed factual. Spin it anyway you'd like. As I stated earlier, you choose the road of least resistance. Attacking who the user may or may not be is much easier than dealing with the substance or in this case facts. I personally don't care if you choose to remain blind.

I do understand that lawyers argue with lawyers. Yes this is how the process works, and again you avoided the facts. All I was doing was paraphrasing one sentence in the 11 page document. And you point out lawyers argue with lawyers(really). Forget substance sqwkvfr, go for the low hanging fruit.

One more time, the point 3662 was trying to understand is why you all let CM lie to you. Please keep pointing out the irrelevant and let the facts pass you by.

Many of the 357 members don't even bother with the call anymore, they consider it a complete waste of time (rightly so IMO).

So we are supposed to pay $500 to FAPA for what? So some past or present BOD member can tell me to go look for it myself?

Please tell me what you guys are doing. You can't make phone call, send an email or file a grievance on our behalf. Could you at least provide information to the pilot group in regards to the lawsuit against LOA 67? Or would you rather just lambaste the membership (once again) in a public forum?

How many pilots have paid dues? It appears to me not many.

And yes, the "Restructuring TA" as we voted on doesn't exist anymore. All of the "meat and potatoes" have been removed, placed in a commercial agreement (which I have not seen). Who knows what is in the commercial agreement now. Do we still have an equity stake? Will we see profit sharing? All very doubtful at this point!

If you were a Frontier pilot you would know the answer to all the above questions.
