I understand what you're referring to, and agree - we're NOT immune.

I think a bunch of 30-40something F9ers will be riding that wave into the seniority lists vacated by those Legacy retirees. We will open contract negotiations in March 2016, and will see what level of interest Indigo has in retaining pilots by paying a competitive wage.

They strike me as a group who would be happiest if they could lower the average seniority, by any means, without regard to the intangible assets experience brings to the operation. Come for the fun coworkers and quick upgrades, but split as soon as the BBD comes along.

Legacy retirements will have a big impact on Frontier's seniority list, and hiring
