I think that any airline that has managed to stay afloat after 9/11 has the potential to make money, and if they dont its simply because MANAGEMENTS poor decision making, not because they are paying pilots too much. paying a first year F/O $50/hr as oppsed to $32 is not going to make/break a company.............and yes I have read Frontier's contract
I see, so you are pretty well versed in the how the DEN air travel market place is?
Do you think that F9 trying to compete with a Ch.11 legacy for years, as well
the entrance of a very successful LCC into their area might make a tad bit of difference of whether or not F9 could make money at their current cost structure?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of ANY paycut. But have you ever worked at a company that was facing fierce competition and having the squeeze put on them by a Ch.11 company, or a Ch.11 codeshare partner? If I remember correctly, you took a job at a bottom feeder that is counter producitve to helping out pilot pay levels.
I'm not nocking Colgan pilots, just your point of view.
And since you have read their new contract, I assume you have friends there as well? I would also assume that you know that their crew software (flicka) can do just about everything that CCS can do. Maybe you and all your bitching can make a call to IAH and tell them get it for us so the DelCon/Branded pilots can have something.
