RPC the right choice....Frontier to be sold?

[stratus72]

Fair enough. I have been blowing quite a bit of extra steam on these boards than I usually do. I can crank it back down a couple notches. I'm actually surprised the mods haven't given me a vacation. All this merger crap on top of the usual RAH crap has me so far beyond giving a damn anymore, that I've not been tempering my responses. My RAH bros can definitely attest to the fact that I am an obnoxious blowhard that resides at the top of many people's no-fly list.

Fair enough...I'm not dropping your name to anyone.

I can believe that. Not a good thing to have your cover blown and going off the deep end.

I don't care who she is.

I am pretty sure that everyone at F9 knows who I am, rather outspoken at times myself....

Copied the following from another board. I really want the current 357 pilots to step back from the fear mongering and look at what your union is doing for you, or more importantly, what they are not doing for you.

This is not about who has more money in the bank.

This is about where your hard earned dues dollars go, and what type of Return on Investment you get for those dollars.

Do 100% of your dues remain in-house

IBT - No, Dues are siphoned to a third party
RPC - Yes, all dues stay in-house, unless the 357 pilots decide to keep IBT, which is entirely their call

Do your dues cover critically important benefits, like LTD insurance?

IBT - No, you must purchase LTD at an additional cost
RPC - YES, LTD premium payments are included in your DUES (and the company is contractually required to pay 90% of the LTD premiums!)

Do your dues cover aeromedical services?

IBT - No, you must purchase aeromedical at an additional cost
RPC - YES, aeromedical is paid in full with a portion of your hard earned dues dollars. Ask anyone that has ever had a medical issue how critically important our aero-medical team at Virtual Flight Surgeon is when it really matters.

Have your bargaining representatives negotiated benefits that are better than the other RAH work groups?

IBT - No, you participate in the same group insurance programs as everyone else at RAH.
RPC - Yes, a special STD plan is in place that provides far superior benefits when compared to the RAH group STD.

These are just a few of the benifits that all 3000 RAH pilots can enjoy if we elect the RPC.

Before you vote, ask yourself why the IBT has decided that you are not important enough to deserve LTD, aeromedical, and STD coverage.

Putting emotions aside, I agree (BIG SURPRISE, I know) with StaySeated. If we can't remain separate (for the time being) I think RPC will best represent the group as a whole. In addition, there are some very valuable benefits that we'll get as members...we won't see that with IBT. I know some of us go back and forth on here and it gets heated. In reality, I personally have nothing against members of the IBT. We all want what we perceive to be the best for ourselves and our families. We want FAPA and they want IBT. RPC would be a nice middle ground. Regardless, I'll continue to keep it professional at work and I hope the RAH guys do the same. Vote what's best for you...that's the reality of things.
