This thread cracks me up. Very entertaining & love the posts! The IBT kool-aid - amazing! Personally, it never tasted that good to me. I like the FAPA kool-aid much better now. At a couple grand a year, it's a bargain! Couldn't be happier!
Personally, I'd be happy to give my dues to RPC in support of BOTH the IBT AND FAPA. That is the only way I'd willingly give to the IBT. I'm amazed that after all the money, extra assessments, etc., that was spent on sub-standard contracts over the years, RAH pilots, including my buddies, still think IBT would be the way to go.
Uncertainty about RPC? I get it, but who has the better track record. Any one else that has worked under both would agree. I think FAPA would do a heckuva lot more than IBT for RAH pilots while keeping Hoffa in slumber (no strike). JT & Co., are amazing at getting things done for us.
Reality is, FAPA will probably cease to exist so I think I'll opt for "Pre-paid Legal." Having once been a part of RAH, I'm in awe that anyone would want to keep the IBT. IBT has done such a phenomenal job with the contracts already, why look for anything else? Right? Oh wait, I forgot, with 74's on the horizon...
At the risk of being kneecapped - RPC FOR ME!

I'll throw a little credit where it is due and say:
The spade is a spade! Can we kill this one yet?
Any pilot who has been at Republic longer than 10 years is either unhireable or unmotivated OR made a choice not to concede numerous sacrifices to his/her QOL in order to pursue what they (and an arbitrator) perceived as the "Holy Grail".
The key word being "CHOICE" and we all have the right to make them as we see fit. Aside from the wildly successful ACA debacle, the vast majority of non-Military trained "Mainline" pilots chose to leave a "lesser" job in pursuit of the mighty "Holy Grail". Some chose not to for various reasons. Some also failed in their efforts (unhireable) while some simply never tried (unmotivated).The spade is a spade! Can we kill this one yet?

Just curious. Does the fact that it bothers me that some dude with barely any experience that was hired at RAH after I left a regional to come to Frontier is now senior to me (well not quite yet) make me arrogant in your eyes? If it does, then you simply don't get it.
See ya round Sparky Jr.

Carl Kuwitzky had it right. Without a staple, it will be a long process for Air Tran and SWA.
But I'm still at a loss for why you think these letters help your case. There's very few pilots at Frontier who felt (or feel) that turning down a staple job with SWA was a bad thing, especially now that Air Tran will get an equitable integration (unless ALPA throws them under the bus like they did to TWA).

Who are you to judge... everyone of is an individual with his or her needs. How dare you call anyone unhirable to unmotivated without knowing the individual!

Which was exactly the point. Thank you for elaborating on "unmotivated".
