The problem we have is enforcement of the current language and keepin the turds at the GO from doing whatever they damn well please. The previously mentioned dude is prob just bandwagon-slamming...but as I said, if you know the contract, you know it's not that bad. That being said, our current mgmt has zero power (read they are order takers from Indigo), zero integrity, and not a lick of respect from a single guy on the seniority list (minus a few willing to shortsightedly take Asst CP positions)
Don't come to Frontier, don't fall for their BS promises at LaGuardia recruiting events, and if you're here....polish up your apps and take the initiative to make your life better!!! There's a whole world of opportunity out there where you'll be respected and compensated like the professional you are. Complacency is enemy #2, right behind 7001 Tower Rd.
You will notice, motorboatin', my post is in reference to the idea of Frontier's culture will somehow override a bad contract and bad pay. Everything you elaborated had nothing to do with my response. But since you attempted to put words in my mouth, I'll be happy to respond to you.
If you think we have good work rules, good on you for selling yourself out. I hope you are not on our NC.
Yes, we have a "garbage" contract. It was written long ago when we were Denver centric and worked with a friendly management. It's a very poorly worded document, even without the huge holes, which makes it easy for the Indigo types out there to walk all over it. So yeah, our contract sucks no matter how well versed you are with it.
If you want to slam Indigo, go for it. But don't use my post incorrectly as a launching board to scare people away.
It's already a no brainer.
