Point being if you disregard year 12 pay and only look at the years leading up to and including 11, it looks considerably worse! The far majority of voting pilots will not see year 12 during the course of the 5 year contract. You and they are really taking it in the shorts.
Let’s be honest here. The pilots who are not on 12 year pay all came to Frontier after the Republic debacle and indigo purchase. You guys didn’t hit a hiring spree till what...2014 or so? At that time a lot of other airlines started ramping up hiring as well. Frontier has already become a less desirable place at that point AND there were other options. If you were hired in that wave it’s because you didn’t get a call from United or southwest, or had no PIC time or whatever. If you are one of these people and, for example, don’t have a 4 year degree. Maybe you should thank your lucky stars you are about to make over $200k per year as a captain with only 5 years of seniority..
