Straight,
Yes 1-3 legs usually. Less often 4. I think I've done 5 maybe once. Schedules compared to Legacies: Might be similar except we fly a lot of redeyes. Our trips aren't usually too efficient. I suppose 10 hour 2 days, 15 hour 3 days, or 20 hour 4 days are considered pretty good around here these days, and they get a lot uglier than that. Course we got a TAFB / 3.75 rig if that floats ur boat. The pre ULCC Frontier had way better efficiency. I've heard lots of guys say they flew 3 on 4 off for years, now they fly 4 on 3 off. Benefits compared to legacies??? BWAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
This thread was started right as the rumors of Indigo purchasing Frontier began.
If you scan/browse/read it, or at least go back a year and a half or so and start there, you will learn everything you want to know about Frontier. I only tell you this because you seem truly interested in knowing details.
I know it's a lot to go through, but in my opinion it will give you a dang comprehensive understanding of this place, and what to expect, as well as the challenges we now face.
