3. As well are the overnights really all at the airport ie no downtown no nice overnights etc? Just makes me think its a real go to work and get done slam click culture which of course has other repercussions in QOL.
thanks
1). September 2016 brought a reduction of 9 lines to ORD and that made the most junior lineholder an 8/2015 hire.
2). F9 is proud to have arguably the highest aircraft utilization rates in the industry. That means there's lots of redeyes. Of course, the more senior you are means you can avoid them. On reserve you can expect to fly some.
3). Most overnights are at hotel airports. Generally speaking, pilots and flight attendants will not layover for the same duration. Frontier has a much higher utilization rate for the FA's so often they will continue flying while the front end crew gets their 117. Every other carrier I've worked for has had better hotel selections than Frontier.
I've been at Frontier less than a year and these are just my opinions. Everybody has a different experience and expectations. I like it here, but as you can see on this forum we are hoping to make a lot of improvements in the next round of negotiating.
