Nothing personal against you ohreallynow, BUT, this is terrible way to approach this AIP. It seems very short sided and looking into the future, or recognizing the past sacrifices Frontier pilots have made.
Frontier Airlines is a Major airline, as is Spirit, Jet Blue, or Alaska. When I was hired in 2007, Frontier was a very difficult airline to get on with. The pilot hiring committee vary much scrutinized potential new hires to bring in only the very best applicants. It was a respectable and growing airline with a very dedicated customer base in Denver that loved this airline. Yes we had trouble making money, but needed to trim the fat as Indigo did. But not to the extreme levels they did to lose all respect of your employee group.
Turn the page to today. Yes, we are currently owned and managed by the the lowest of the lowest scum on the earth which has zero respect for any of their employees. But as an investment company they do a very great job doing what they do. That doesn’t mean we as professional pilots should except any thing less then what are peers receive, flying the very same aircraft in the very same environment as every other airline out their. Indigo will eventually go away. That day just can’t happen fast enough. But when they are gone we will be left with a substandard contract that we “were just ok voting for because we (at the time) are working for a substandard airline” Please don’t sell yourself, your fellow pilots and the industry as a whole short, WE ARE NOT SUBSTANDARD PILOTS!!
