While some are unsuccessful, many others find success. Some just can't handle the pressure and as much as we would all like it to change, we're just the pawns. Companies like spirit and frontier are in the business of cost cutting wherever they can. In fact, a few months back, your training boys visited one of our centers. I won't be surprised to see your program cut at some point. It's unfortunate, because I know your program is one of, if not the best.
It's good you're aware of your limitations, especially if your plans are to move on. It's not worth the blemish on your record, though I will say plenty have moved on with said blemish.
Personally I'd be chasing down jetBlue, even spirit or allegiant, uless you actually like working for 60-80% less than everyone else. As we're seeing, it appears frontier is some time away from a TA and given some of the comments here about parts they agreed upon, there is no way it would even be ratified if presented.
