Knowing your contract is essential for any pilot; expecting a new hire to fend for themself in the way you’re suggesting is truly ridiculous.

Why don’t you put on your big boy pants and hold your employer accountable rather than being condescending to a new hire? That might be a better strategy than criticizing NEW HIRES for not knowing every resource available in the book they got 2 weeks ago.

I’m sorry this happened to you, but it is par for the course as far pilots having to deal with more than they should have due to the company cheaping out in every way they can.

Frontier is NOT the big leagues, despite how you might delude yourself. The “BIG LEAGUE” pilots don’t have to deal with this, aside from occasional IROPS and certainly not in new hire training. The fact you call Frontier the “Big Leagues” speaks volumes about yourself

My “minor league” regional had very few hotel issues compared to here, so maybe you’re not babe ruth like you think
