Only reason I see to go now is to get on board now with low time before a contract is passed and it becomes way more competitive to get hired much like what happened at spirit. A handful of very inexperienced peole hit the lottery at spirit by getting hired when they were desperate for people on the old contract. Then shortly after being hired they the new rates.
It’s a gamble though. In spite of Spirit management’s hardball, they ultimately got a deal that was reasonable. Frontier management is much less amicable and are still wanting the pilots to cement themselves at the bottom of the industry for narrow body flying. Until they wake up to the fact that this is unacceptable this is going to be a LONG fight.
Don’t come to Frontier expecting a new contract to save you from 1st year pay. It’s not going to happen.
