100% confident the teamsters are going to win.
100% confident the teamsters are going to win by an OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
100% confident that the current FAPA leadership stands a snowballs chance of ever holding union office again.
Frontier Pilots, you should be completely embarrassed at the concept of RPC and how your union leadership is conducting their "campaign."
I am not pro teamsters. I am pro-whatever is best for this place, for ALL of the pilots on the INTEGRATED seniority list. IBT, at the moment, is the only logical choice.

An in-house union will not work for RAH. You don't have the size or the funds available to adequately represent your membership. The obvious choice in your vote is ALPA. Unless you feel like donating ~5% of your salary to fund your in-house, that will have very little clout by the way, you should stick to the tried and true pilot union, ALPA.
Your dues dollars will go much further with ALPA because ALPA has the infrastructure in place, and decades of experience representing pilots, whereas your in-house will be starting from scratch. Look no further than USAPA. That is a train wreck. The RPC will join the pile. Don't make that mistake; join the 50,000+ brothers and sisters in the Air Line Pilots Association. Not 3,000 pilots trying to go it alone with inadequate resources.

Agreed, certainly ALPA has it's own issues; however, the ability to represent both mainline and regional is not one of them. This is about representing ALL airline pilots, regardless of what they're flying. No other airline union represents airline pilots as effectively as ALPA.

Yet another reason why the RPC is the right structure for this property.
I find it a tad bit interesting that you feel that you know what's best for ALL pilots on the INTEGRATED list. You really meant to say IBT, didnt you?
None the less, we are working on solving this problem. You will probably get to keep your IBT for as long as you want. Good luck to you and your CBA negotiations. I wish you the best.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that feel the same anonymity towards the IBT.

This is not the same as implementation.
This is also the subject of a lawsuit, as Eischen overreached his authority by adding a time limit where one currently does not exist.
Contrary to what the IBT is stating, even if the 60 limit remains, the 61st day will merely require an agreement on how we implement, not full implementation. Bedford has made it painfully clear that he wants the ops to remain separate. It will be interesting to see what the implementation agreement will look like.

That list is coming, it's like a freight train that can't be stopped. Your fence is going to screw you into the wall more than anything else will.

May I ask how the fence is going to screw me? The way I see it I am definitely screwed without the fence and am screwed in seven years with the fence. I would like your opinion on why I am screwed more with the fence? Do you not believe that the 190's and a bunch of the 135-145's will go away with the demise of Frontier? Along with those planes goes your pilots. But that is a sacrifice you are willing to take. I bet you are not one of those pilots at the bottom of your list.
