I'm not sure that I get the point you are trying to make here. So if I got you wrong, correct me.

First off all, I'm not the one setting any bars here, high or low. I'm a line pilot that has the ability to look at things from a business perspective. This thread is trying to answer the question of what the relative risks are with choosing Frontier as a career choice.

If you are disappointed in the quality of the product that we provide, I would remind you that we are not the customers. We are employees and the financial success of the airline is in our best interest. If you want to enjoy a quality travel experience while on your days off, I suggest you fly on Delta. I'm here because I believe this business model will be successful long term. I base that mostly on knowing how businesses that cater to cost concious consumers fare during a recession. Clearly, the company is doing well in today's economic times, and I believe that it will continue to do well in darker economic times as well. United on the other hand is not set up well to deal with cutting fares.

Do not confuse our product with our career.
