By the way, I am not advocating that RAH is a better deal for F9. What I AM saying is that SWAPA is being unreasonable in expecting F9 pilots to be satisfied with a staple given that SW has stated they intend to get rid of the F9 airplanes in the near future. Who wants to be last when the axe comes down? Not many pilots will willingly make themselves furlough fodder. Bills don't wait, and there are very few jobs out there to help furloughed pilots through the tough times these days. SW has enjoyed a great run that will probably continue for quite some time. But you need to understand that the reality the F9 pilots face if furloughed is very grim. Two years or so of sacrifice may not sound like much, but if it costs you your home and/or your family, then it is too much.
F9 pilots should not have to shoulder that burden alone. Frontier pilots work at a viable company that only ended up in bankruptcy because of a change in credit card witholdings. If you don't want to share in their struggle via integration, that is fine, but don't be surprised that your offer of "to the bottom of the list" is turned down.
