I am so glad that I voted for IBT.. FAPA working on concessions behind the closed doors while we are suggesting that we should all become one to avoid whipsaw is amazing. I have so much respect for most of the pilots individually, I am affraid that is not something I can say about the FAPA management.
RPC is a tool to keep the egomaniac FAPA people still in management..

ESOP in exchange of savings ? You believe in that sh!t? Go to B concourse and ask your buddies in UAL about that.. Oh yeah, Siegel was in the control yoke when they decided to do that in UAL with Wolfe..

Dumb move FAPA!!!!

Bleeding cash is the killer here. The branded experiment is a disaster that will soon be dead without a major overhaul to just about everything.
PULL HEAD OUT OF SAND!

The toilet has been flushed. The branded turd is circling in the vortex. Bedford is trying to reach down and save it. You are blinded right now by your (and the airline businesses) history. This is (any) "Business 101" right now. The ship is taking on water fast. The market is doing what it does best, killing off the weak!

You F9ers are going to get exactly what you deserve. When it happens, you better not place any blame on anyone other than yourselves. You've made a stupid, shortsighted, arrogant, naive, and costly mistake....exactly what BB wanted all along.

We can only hope (and likewise).

I have never heard an airline CEO not state that "the sky is falling". I do find it interesting that BB is riding in on his white horse to save you guys just days before the SLI is made effective.

Everyone in the airline industry is singing the same song except you guys. The problem with F9 is not the costs. With 170s gone you have the lowest CASM than even Southwest. It's a proven fact..
The problem is the management and their head being in the sand on how to run this airline. The problem is yields, not cost.
Did you ever question BB on his decision to send the experienced people away like Sean Menke and Ian Arthur.. Show me when was the last time a person like Greg Aretakis ran a profitable airline.. The people who have had really bad airline tenures are in charge of the 'branded' operations now.

Yup. And Dave Siegel is on the BOD.

Here is a recent picture of the RAH BOD congratulating themselves and each other for their foresight and ingenuity and success:
