The old Frontier guys that I knew decades ago would be mortified at this latest act of cowardice by you "new" Frontier pilots. It's clear the rest of the profession doesn't matter to you. The rest of the profession won't forget.

Maybe the Old Frontier guys worked in a different industry and world than we do today?
Swelblog / Swelbar on Airlines - Articles - Autos, Airlines and the Question of UnionRelevance
"Today, the goal of most airlines is to reach “responsible” contracts with union employees with costs sustainable over the term of the contract. That’s a much better approach than the patterns of the past, when buying labor peace in one contract only forced airlines into asking for concessions before the amendable date because they could no longer afford the terms. And sustainability benefits employees, too, particularly if it avoids the need for concessionary bargaining in a downturn and provides protection on the upside to prevent companies from earning outsized profits on labor’s back."
I don't expect you to agree, but maybe, just maybe, you could understand that there are other points of view that are relevant.
And I don't remember electing you to be the voice of "the rest of the profession." Get over yourself.
