I don’t think anyone is “blaming” new hires... I’ve said before everyone has a reason for coming here and I’ve also previously stated that when they fly with captains, the furthest it MIGHT go is, “why would you come here?!” then everyone would do their job and that’d be the end of that... I’d rather be at a highly profitable company than a dying regional too... I was once that new hire... I went from $82/hr to $37/hr... I had high hopes and those hopes aren’t dead yet...

I’m at $132/hr now and I’d be at $90 something at my regional if I had stayed... I’m half way up the seniority list in 4 years...
if this place grows and gets the contract we’ve EARNED, then we could all have a very lucrative career with a pretty decent QOL... the fact remains however, that one of the very few things that would drive a TA much faster is a$$es in classes and as long as those classes remain filled and the flights go out Frontier on time (between 30 min to 9 hours late), it’s a detriment to our goal... again, I’d never give a new hire grief and I don’t think almost anyone here would, either
