There are some good things happening at Frontier. There will be lots of new hires for 2015 and the indefinite future. I just heard 190 - 240 new hires for the year 2015!
We survived so many years when there was not much good news.
I know there will be some challenges ahead of us with pay and contract issues, but without this new ownership team, we were toast.
Right now, I am cautiously optimistic about our future!
I didn't realize I was coming across as "down", I am actually more optimistic than ever with regard to the future careers of F9 pilots. The company has never been more profitable, the "no end in sight" for some pilots stuck on RSV has been resolved, upgrades and growth. Life is much better than it was in 2008, or 2009..2010..2011..2012...
I agree, the purchase by Indigo and resulting NMB representation election (thank you again FAPA) was a new lease on life (although we still have a few litigants fighting the IMSL issue).
With that said I think we have a very hard road ahead of us with a fight at every turn of the road. Thankfully a majority of the pilot group is engaged and ready.
