I'm fairly happy with the job, especially the instructing part, but the line flying...one gets tired of 4 legs through the NE every day. That, and I wonder if RPA will still be around in 20 years when I'm ready to retire. A few questions:
1. Does it seem like CVG will be a long-term base for Frontier?
2. What are the odds of getting it out of training?
3. If you were in my position (see above), would you make the jump to Frontier?
Thanks all.
1. It's anybody's guess. The only constant at F9 is change.
2. Very good.
3. Only if you want out of training and want to go fly the line for a paycut. You won't make $205 until upgrade, call it 2 years-ish, and $240 will take several years due to our ridiculous pay slope.
