I love your kind, so ignorant and think that is actually a justifiable argument.
Its not, it is absolutely different. I am already here, I have decent seniority. Where I am now, how would it make sense to leave to "where ever I can get hired." Or to simply just quit and hope I find something before money runs out and the family can't eat? I am open to a lot of possibilities, not just the DL,UL,AA...but to leave just to tell Frontier to F off without a plan to support my family, that is nonsensical. Could I go to a regional? Sure...but then I'd be worse off then the guy already there wanting to come here. I should have never come here in the first place, but I'm here now, trying to make it a better place in the event I don't get out.
On the other hand somebody already at a regional looking to come to Frontier. Is Frontier better in the long run, absolutely. Would it be even better if you waited, you bet. Is it better now...not really, I liked it here overall initially, at this point though it was better at my regional. The regional guy looking to come here will take a PAY CUT, be out thousands in additional expenses during training that are not covered, most regionals are giving bonuses so the pay cut is even larger. Already has seniority where they are and would be giving that up to likely commute which you mention in a different thread as a reason to leave a regional, or at least be badly abused on reserve all over again after finishing that mess with their regional. Oh and then there is everything else wrong with Frontier right now with management, AND the pilots and ALPA are all pleading you not to come. That you are telling each pilot here for your entire time at this airline with that well recognizable employee number that you are in it for you, you don't give a F about the other pilots here, and you don't care about what is required to better the group.
So no, just quitting is not the same as waiting a few months while those of us here fix the situation so that you can then come and reap the rewards, and yes if nobody came to class for a few months it would absolutely be fixed.
Its not blaming the new hires for our predicament, its recognizing that despite all that is going on and being said, these people just don't care, and those aren't the kind of people anybody wants in their life.
