What difference does it matter what size F9 is? Our negotiators need to educate the new NMB members that Frontier pilots were once one of the highest paid Airbus operators (and that was when we were much smaller than we are now).
In addition, our upper management receives compensation that is on par with their legacy contemporaries.
In addition, SWA pilots have proved for many, many years that just because they were an LCC, they didn't have to work for less than their legacy counterparts (and that has been the case going back many years when they were a small airline relative to the legacy majors).
