On March 30th the NMB finally published their ruling that Frontier is a seperate carrier from all of the Republic airlines. The initial filling was in mid December and the IBT argued against it, using some pretty weak excuses to deny it. The board shot down every single one of them.
The next step is a 30 day period where any other union interested in representing the Frontier pilots can basically set up a campaign and try to garner interest, ie ALPA. Then the NMB will hold an election. At that point we the Frontier pilots will be able to kick the Teamsters and their pathetic Republic local to the curb. Until then they are still our representation. But only for a couple more weeks.
So basically the IMSL is now null and void.
