Anyone that says frontier doesn’t have schedule QOL is splitting hairs because you still have a ton of flexibility at frontier, but obviously you can always hope for more.
I understand it seems like it’s splitting hairs on this but trust me after having gone through US Air and AA merger (as an FA), it’s good to start the conversation as early as possible so everybody knows the differences albeit small or big. I was US Air and we forced our system on AA, only to find out later that AA had the better scheduling rules. They went from being able to drop to zero to adopting US Air 40hr min per month all because we had a couple better QOL options. Are you easily able to drop to zero at Frontier? If so, how often have you seen it happen?
