The leverage Frontier pilots have right now (since they likely will be unable to strike) is the fact that no one who understands the state of Frontier wants to go there. This is the Frontier management response to that. Remember that Frontier is owned by Indigo Partners the same group that owned Spirit during their strike (same negotiation tactics used against Spirit back then).

So please, for the good of yourself and the profession, stay away from Frontier.
Just remember you can make twice as much and have better work rules your first year at Endeavor flying a CRJ200. Until Frontier AT LEAST matches Spirit, nobody should be going there, and for that matter their FO's should be looking like ours circa 2014.
