He'll likely be around 20-25% on the F9 list by 2029, if all goes according to plan. Doubt he'll make it there at the legacies in the same timeframe.
which when they get new contracts will probably blow away frontiers current rates.
Blow away? They will likely be higher but none of the legacies are in the kind of financial shape that would support massive increases at the moment. It seems the highest margin flying (business/international) will rebound very slowly with all these COVID restriction resurgences.
You also have much better benefits
Yep, our LTD needs a lot of work. International travel bennies also nice, if you do that sort of thing.
I would also feel much more secure at united/delta/american longevity than frontier.
Eh, no crystal ball or anything, but F9 faired much better through the pandemic than pretty much every airline out there. Granted we're not in the "too big to fail" club but I wouldn't have felt very secure at the bottom of a legacy list over the last 18 months.
