Looks like reality is hitting you in the face also my friend.
Republic PILOTS did not take your job. As many times as your flame bait has been honestly and accurately retorted on this site it amazes me that you continue. At this point there are only two possibilities:

1. You really enjoy stirring the internet pot because it makes you laugh.
2. You are to ignorant to understand what is going on and it just makes you feel better to blame the RAH pilot group.

Although it might seem like Republic pilots took your job thats not what happend. Your job was sold off to the lowest bidder who happend to have airplanes sitting around at the time. Its no different than any other legacy who has lost jobs to "regional" feed. Maybe you should have thought about your scope section before you signed your last contract. Had it been better and not such a joke, maybe you would still have a job, or have had the whole company shut down and no chance of an eventual recall. Quit whining about the pilots. we went to this company simply for a pay check, a semi-fast upgrade, and the base structure that it had. most of us had never heard of your "major" airline.

New Airbus are coming into the fleet. There are different markets to be served that they are very useful for. The reality is that it will not happen soon or ever because of the integration that's taking place. The contract the RAH group has with the company states there must be integration which is taking place. Keeps the groups from whipsawing each other and makes them a much stronger force against the company during negotiations

Some guys seem to enjoy flaming on this site.... perhaps they need to get involved with their representatives to help make changes instead of throwing out the negative thoughts and lies. I guess picking the name Dirty Rat says it all.
You're out of your mind. You assumed SWA would dump the front office--and what did RAH do? You've assumed that SWA would hurt other employee groups--and what is RAH doing?

The only thing I can assume your post is meant to do is make yourself feel better for blocking something that would've been good for a lot of other people but not your Frontier 4 stripes.

They also think that they are immune to the same fate of the Midwest Pilots. Wait and see.

Wasn't BB threatening to sell off controlling interest in F9?

Originally he did but the contract is quite clear about when integration must take place. There was no getting around it.

Ok but if he did sell of 51% of the company (dividing that 51% up amongst several other companies) he would then retain control as a majority owner but not be legally obligated to integrate anyone at F9.

From how it's been explained to me the integration is based off initial purchase. Not what he does with it after.
