I would go! There are no Pension plans anymore to consider or worry about and most the airlines will be hiring soon so If you have a solid financial plan and a means to save for the unexpected, the move to Frontier can be beneficial.

Franke is buying Frontier to make money. Either by growing it (my guess) or by parting it out (doubt that).

If he is growing it, then guess what, the pilots and employees will "reap" the rewards of career advancement. Hopefully, Franke will not come to ask for concessions and hopefully Frontier employees will not give anymore. The Frontier employees have given more than enough. SO it is really up to the employee leadership to show the value and worth of the current employee structure and discount that Franke is getting. The reward is HUGE with this type buyout (if it goes the way I am thinking). Spirit will have a viable competitor in a couple years.

If he is parting it, then you can apply to another airline and more than likely get hired. I am assuming the airlines will be hiring very soon and by mass amounts

IMHO, Frontier would be a good risk. But I have been wrong before.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Franke was not well liked at NK. He is anti pilot. Im sure any NK pilot that was around for the strike can tell you horror stories of Franke in negotiations.

Bedford is the same way. He is the anti-christ for pilots dressed in sheeps clothing. All the pilots at RP warned you guys and the Midwest guys about Bedford spitting out his putrid lies. You guys thought he was the savior of your airline. Im sorry for what he did to F9. Frontier was a great company back in the day and I only wish the best for everyone there. But take heed of this warning. Franke is not going to save the airline if he can just take all the assests and ship them off to all the other airlines that Indigo has all over the world.

This is of course my opinion and I hope im wrong.
