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.
Frontier is doing the same thing as Spirit who offered the "flow" to Go Jets, due to the lack fo applicants they wanted. I think Frontier is one meltdown away from a TA. Same thing that Spirit had in May of 2017. About 7 months later an AIP was reached.
"About 300 Spirit flights have been canceled over the past seven days, leaving thousands of passengers angry. The airline says its own pilots are behind the cancellations and is suing them in federal court."
