There are many things that do suck at Frontier. Obviously pay being the biggest. The thing that was the biggest shocker for me was how bad the health care options are. This was a big step backwards from the regional I was at. Also no minimum daily guarantee makes for low credit trips. There are many things that made me shake my head during the first year and wonder to myself. "What have I done by coming here".

That being said I'm now on second year pay and things are much better. I have gained an incredible amount of seniority in a year. The flexibility to change your schedule is great. Vacation is really good I worked 7 days for my vacation month. If you live in domicile reserve is not bad, you can swap days and pick up trips with aggressive reserve. You can also work the system and hardly work at all. I've spent more time with my family in the last year than I ever have. The training department is great, the Airbus is great,the guys you fly with are all great.

So really it is some good and some bad. It sure beats most jobs. When I came here I knew it would take at least 3 years to know if I made the right decision. It's a high risk high reward opportunity. For those that are just starting out, the first year goes fast. Things change faster. Sleep well knowing you will be acquiring seniority fast and people keep telling me seniority is everything.
