Holy Toledo. I got the email from our union and it looks like they're allocating a million bucks to make sure the SWAPA pilots don't get screwed with this purchase.

What kind of money/resources does FAPA have?

I suspect SWAPA is going to be the gorrilla in this whole mess.
 
By the way, I can't think of a better use for our hard-earned dues money, sorry Frontier guys, but we've got a good thing going and I suspect we'll fight to the death to keep it that way.
 
SWAPA will spend whatever is necessary to make sure that Soutwest Pilots are fairly represented when it comes to seniority integration. One million is being requested from the reserve fund as an initial allocation, much more is available if necessary.

F9 pilots will be welcomed with open arms but SWAPA represents Southwest pilots. When it is all said and done, F9 pilots will be SWAPA pilots so a good agreement that is fair for everyone is ideal.

Yeah, just so you can make up that $1k a month....GMAFB!
 
It is only wise to prepare. That costs money.

This doesn't even make sense. What does SWAPA spending biggo resources to protect our seniority list have to do with the no voters handing $396 million back to the company?

You do know that they're using the raise money you gave back to them to pay for this acquisition, don't you?

Lol, y'all might be surprised. Should FAPA have to fight the "final battle", we could spend every cent and mortgage the office furniture to pay the laywers. May it never get that ugly. Best wishes from us F9ers.
 
Well, it looks like just the ante on this particular poker game is now a cool million dollars. I could easily envision SWAPA raising the bid as the cards are dealt, I haven't seen how big our rainy day fund is up to, but a while ago it was over six million dollars.

We'll see.

I mentioned this because I was a bit taken aback at the sheer size of the resources SWAPA was throwing at this thing, within hours of the announcement.
