Any Frontier pilot can now immediately go to UAL, DAL or AA and be a captain in 1 year.
I think Frontier’s plan is to expect to get most if not all pilots through their cadet program in the future. They just need 24-36 months to wait for these guys to get their 1500 hours. They get the keep them for 3 years and then off to a legacy they go. Same process the regionals did for years. I’m not happy about this but it’s pretty obvious what’s going on. It probably won’t work out for them but they’ll let the experiment play out a few years. Guys need to realistically not expect a contract until 2026. It sucks but it’s the reality of the situation. We only get a contract when the company needs it. Not much ALPA or the NC can do about it.
