I actually mostly agree. Obviously there's room for improvement! But on the last contract we got some major things knocked out like switching to a fully DC retirement plan and increasing the different reserve options. Insurance costs haven't risen either which is huge as Healthcare prices have sky rocketed.
That being said, we need some improvements in pay, training, scheduling, LTD, Section 19 protections, etc.
This contract fight will be very slow and very painful. I caution anyone who thinks it'll be quick to seriously reset your expectations. Frontier is (still!) filling classes and therefore doesn't see any real reason to kick out a kick ass contract.
If you are on the fence about leaving or doing the wait and see how the new contract looks, I highly recommend you split immediately. You could leave here and be a captain at Delta before we sign a new CBA
