Guys,

Threads like this are not cool at all. I have friends at Frontier as well as all over the industry. Everyone like's to be a vulture and speculate, but in these market conditions it serves us all to cheer for our friends at places like Frontier that are good organizations. They pay well, treat their pilots decent, and they serve some markets that have few if any alternatives. That means they ADD jobs to our profession that no one else will. Wages will not go up because Frontier fails and will not fall because they succeed. If Frontier fails, that is just that many more pilots out there in the market for jobs and if you do get hired at that next job, why would your future employer pay more? There are plenty of well qualified pilots willing to be employed thanks to quality companies not making it. A lot of Frontier's problems are just a cash crunch caused by it's financial partners (credit card companies.)

It's one thing to whine about sub-standard paying jobs, but it doesn't help when an industry average player fails.

Good luck Frontier!
