So is that actually the case, and what is first year pay actually like?
Along with that, what is the typical schedule of a Frontier pilot? Primarily out and backs or 2/3/4 days trips?
Thanks.
The return on concessions he was referring to (for pilots) are contractual snapbacks. There's no change to year 1 pay ($37.59/hr @ 75 credit guarantee). The other rates all saw around a $2-$4/hr increase. Nothing to go tooting our horns about. Salary/benefits-wise we won't be competitive with our peer groups until a new contract is negotiated. Don't hold you breath for that.
As far as trips we have everything from 1/2/3/4/5 day trips.
