Or were Lynx employees. We have received nothing from the company or any union since April/10 furlough. I had to do some research after recieving the ballot since I didn't know who "other" was.

Either way... it's all over now.

Not an opinion held by everyone here. Unity is just that. Wishing harm on our new fellow brothers and sisters isn't a very good example of said unity.

It's time for everyone to recycle their BS-ponder from the events of the SLI, election, ect.

I personally want to welcome our new fellow pilots and look forward to their participation, expertise, and professionalism.

The IBT earned 1600/2900 votes. Period, end of story.

FAPA members voted for RPC, the 13 that voted for FAPA apparently live on another planet.

It was time to come together, now it is time for the Local 357 to walk the walk. One voice, one list, one contract. Let's see some action behind all the hyperbole.

No, it is not considered a yes, or a no. Just trying to show the spin you are putting on it. Just showing the numbers. You stated, 1300, it is 747 of the ones that voted. 470+ didn't vote for whatever reason.

[QUOTE=
RAH has 2946 eligible pilots, IBT received 1692 votes.
[/QUOTE]

that is the total eligible, not just RAH, but then again you are correct, we are all RAH! F9 had what 700 give or take to vote. Add in lynx and midwest and you get the total, stop trying to play the numbers game. BB already did that with you guys!

Rhetorically wondering, and how has that been working for you and the F9 pilots?

You don't really need to respond.......

The Frontier pilots have done nothing to work with the RAH pilots from day one, and you think there's a fat chance in hell any Republic pilot with common sense would vote for the "RPC" aka. FAPA?? I think its great IBT won the vote, because it speaks volumes about our unity. But honestly, I hope F9 goes Ch. 7 in the next year or two and their pilots go with it.

This is the reason that other airline pilots look down at and dislike RAH pilots. I truly hope you get furloughed someday.:mad:

This doesn't help either. Emotions are high. Seriously everyone needs to take a few days then put all of this behind you. Good or bad. What's done is done. The enemy is not our fellow pilots but the man who just took concessions from you and his henchmen. Eyes on the prize people.

Don't listen to that RAH dude, that's very immature. I'm glad the IBT won and I do think that we can work together as one group. That's if everyone is able to keep an open mind. Welcome to 357 Frontier/Lynx/Midwest guys and gals.
