I hope your NC is not using Spirit as an example.
They have a very high profit margin, and they were shooting for Jetblue rates (sound familiar). They did go on strike, and achieved....
Airbus pay rates (up a 321 no less) that are less than jetblue's 190 rates.
Yikes.
And you guys are going to strike in 2013 for jet blue 190 rates in your (frontier's?) 190?
Why are we talking about a strike, again?

he's just bitter, which is understandable if you fight so hard for so long and lose. we are all RAH pilots now, time to get over it. Take some time, maybe an APC vacation. The enemy is in IND and does't fly airplanes. Keep your head about you.

Hey, at least a furlough is still better than the Ch. 7 Frontier will be in! Hate the RAH pilots all you want BRO, but the fact is that Bedford exploited the LABOR EFFORTS of the Republic pilots, denying us a contract and respectable wages and work rules, so that he could go buy two bankrupt airlines. We then proceeded to welcome the Frontier/Midwest pilots with open arms, with visions for fair integration and unity. We were met with hostility, disrespect and "we're better than you" attitudes. So believe me, when F9 is Ch. 7, we'll all be much happier.

Just registered to say as a Frontier pilot I'm not interested in Teamsters or being represented by a bunch of commuter pilots, furthermore no RAH or Teamsters crew members will occupy my jumpseats. If by any chance you are released and actually strike, I'll continue to fly and will not respect your picket lines. I do expect for the union representation I actually voted for to continue to expend all FAPA funds necessary to fight this and to return all funds to the current FAPA membership if necessary to keep them out of Teamsters hands. If this is not plain enough let me elaborate, I will not support Teamsters in any fashion or manner.
Cross a picket line? Have fun being a SCAB. If you are so adamant about not becoming a Teamster, then QUIT your job. A group of you Frontier pilots will go down in infamy as going beyond all reasonable rationale in defense of your precious airline, even if it means joining the long list of SCABS. Unbelievable.

60 day clock started today. Once that goes into effect their names are now on the list and will be recalled in IMSL order, and we will welcome those who chose to return onboard. Quite a few are already here and can use their IMSL number.

190's yes. however right now we are severely understaffed. It wouldn't be a large furlough if any at all. Wishing furlough or job loss upon anyone is just plain low. At the end of the day not much is going to change immediately for either side. Visit this in a year or so.
