Ms. Berg
As a SWA management spokesperson, I can tell you are very enthusiastic about this acquisition. As a Frontier pilot, with quite a few years of service and longevity with Frontier I am not sure that I share that same enthusiasm. SWA has stated that the Airbus aircraft that I operate is going to be "phased out". Could you provide some reasons for me to be enthusiastic about this possible acquisition and the potential loss of my job. SWA's stated plan that "Frontier Employees would be hired into Southwest as needed...." does not seem like any type of commitment, nor does it address how my seniority would be honored. How does SWA envision my longevity, position, seniority, and future career are going to be secured by this acquisition? The currently proposed Republic transaction states they plan to continue employing me as a pilot and operating the Airbus. I do not sense the same level of security from the SWA transaction.
Thank you in advance for you reply.
