Default Republic Pilot Council

Frontier will be sold. If you have not received the info yet you will shortly.

Is "one list" really in the best interest of the 357 pilots?

The paradigm is changing at RAH.

The RPC structure is the only structure that will function at this holding company.

Every pilot is safer (seniority wise, longevity wise) with the RPC structure.

The Joint Council concept was designed for this very reason at other IBT properties.

Educate yourselves. Don't cast your vote based on a campaign slogan ("oneness").

Vote for a representation structure that works considering the rapidly evolving events at RAH.

RPC works.

Yes

The paradigm is changing at RAH.

Has been since we bought 2 defunct airlines

The RPC structure is the only structure that will function at this holding company.

Not

Every pilot is safer (seniority wise, longevity wise) with the RPC structure.

Don't think so

The Joint Council concept was designed for this very reason at other IBT properties.

It was designed so your mucky mucks could keep raking in their $40k/yr

Educate yourselves. Don't cast your vote based on a campaign slogan ("oneness").

So 2 unions representing 1 list with 1 of the unions having really no say is better than 1 union taking on those idiots at HQ?

Vote for a representation structure that works considering the rapidly evolving events at RAH.

Agree

RPC works.

You thought of it a week ago, you have no idea if it will work. No bylaws, etc. Pure conjecture. If I jump off my roof thinking I can fly, the result is going to be the same....failure.
If F9 is getting sold, then nothing really matters now does it?

I used the RPC flyer to pick up my dog's crap, cause that's about all it's good for.

Any vote against IBT is a vote against unity. BB + WH will have a field day with you creating the biggest whipsaw ever seen. You're just too naive to see it. These clowns have been my reality for 6+ years.

I already voted IBT.

I voted IBT. "Oneness" is not an IBT slogan. It is what the IBT has worked for in the past when Republic was to be an alter ego. The union won.

RPCs last hope is scare tactics that Frontier is to be sold. Who cares? 7 year fence remember, that is what FAPA wanted? IBT members are safe for the next 7 years. Good luck guys if you are sold again.

I am sorry to inform you that you are 100% inaccurate.

If frontier liquidates, all the 190's will go away.

If frontier liquidates, all the 145's currently flying a CPA for Frontier will go away.

300+ pilots will be furloughed.

150+ pilots will be downgraded.

Still want one list?

The fence has nothing to do with this, if frontier is liquidated, all frontier pilots will be on the street.

If frontier is sold, the 190's will go with (along with the current 357 pilots that flying them today).

Do you want to go with the Chautauqua CBA or do you want to go with the FAPA CBA?

One list will hurt the 190 flight crews and it will hurt the junior most 357 members.

RPC will mirror the structure of the holding company.

Wow you guys are doing your best to hide any factual discussion regarding RPC.

Editing the title AND moving the thread? Really?

No it won't.. 190 crew members are super senior they will be pused down on the list but super junior people will lose their jobs. Even if it did , damage caused by one list will be minimal compared to have a two different CBAs under one RPC in the long term.

I am in the bottom 5% of the SLI award.. i will not have a problem being on the street for the sake of having a one list. I hope it's clear to you guys..
