Unfortunately domestic revenue increases have not come close to the CASM increases when fuel going into the plane is $3.20-$3.95 per gallon.
The increase in fuel costs is the same for everyone. Industry revenue is up huge. The strongest revenue environment since pre 9-11. This is the environment in which Frontier pilots accepted concessions.

Just some facts from a "new" Frontier pilot that has seen the balance sheet and the business plan.
You've seen the business plan eh? Did BB tell you that the competitor he uses as his excuse (SWA) is no longer a low cost carrier but very often has some of the highest fares around? Competing with SWA is no longer a bad thing. SWA's high fares are helping to create the very strong revenue environment that we're all seeing. The same environment in which Frontier pilots negotiated concessions.
Your excuses for weakness are an easily provable FAIL.
