Frontier is the also the only major left without AQP in initial training. It’ll be years before they get a new contract and will always be subpar.
Regionals do s^ck but AQP is light years better at improving the skills of a pilot group as a whole rather than basically making us jump through a bunch of standard hoops and over hurdles in the sim like we were dogs competing for best in show. In AQP the focus is on learning, not testing. A failure is a big deal to someone moving on with their career and it's nice to go into AQP knowing you are not facing a pink slip. I do miss that, it's way more chill and a far better learning environment.
