“The professional pilot job market is rapidly evolving and this will put Silver Airways and Frontier in a highly competitive position, while offering current and future pilots a solid path to a career with a major airline.”

First of all Frontier is NOT a major airline. Second of all they need to build 1000 PIC at Silver before getting recommended to Frontier? A Silver captain with half or a quarter of that PIC that could get hired at a real major. No need to wait til 1000 PIC. That's just a retention clause right there. Sneaky.
