Additionally, there’s a disparity in retirement benefits, with a 15% 401k contribution at Frontier versus 18% at the legacy carrier. No profit-sharing at Frontier. The discrepancies continue across various aspects of compensation and benefits.
There is no reason we shouldn’t achieve a 100% voter turnout with a 100% “yes” vote. Frontier Captains earn $119 per hour less while taking on double the workload due to outsourcing every other department to the lowest bidding contractors. First Officers are paid $90 per hour less. Meanwhile, the cost of living has increased by 25% over the past four years due to inflation. Our pay increases haven’t come close to covering the increased cost of living.
Barry is forecasting a double digit profit margin next year. It’s time to pay up!
Lets not forget all of the other QOL stuff they have. Such as more vacation. Better daily credit. More days off. Better reserve rules. Own occupation to 65. Better insurance costs. etc.
