Thats about it. Having ready many articles in financial journals, I really don't see the pilot contract even being mentioned... and if it is it'll be one sentence saying the pilots at Frontier are the lowest paid in the industry, and contract negotiations are expected to last for years...
Our contract will have virtually no effect on the stock price. This contract will drag on for years. Its just the reality of it. It doesn't mean we wont ever get a contract, it doesn't mean that it will be a bad one. The IPO and the pilot contract are not dependent on each other.
