frontier still claims to be an ULCC in their most recent 10K on page 4. But we’ve all seen Southwest align with our current model of Ala carte. Does this mean we deserve Southwest rates? Absolutely.


Additionally when comparing metrics we use these carriers :”Amcrican Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and Allegiant Air.”

so when we are being compensated we should receive the average of those carrier rates excluding those still negotiating. With a pay rise adjusted for inflationary increases.

Note we are not comparing our metrics to regional carriers. So we shouldn’t be paid like them.


Even in our filing they talk about cost advantages and how they will accomplish it. No where does it say keeping wages low. So don’t get into your head we deserve even a cent less. We get what we negotiate and that should be industry standard rates. Anyone saying we can’t afford it hasn’t done the math. It’s like $6 a ticket increase in cost. They don’t want to increase the cost a few dollars for you to be paid fairly because they “management” profit personally off keeping our wages lower than the industry rates.


the highest paid pilots narrow body are a low cost mode Southwestl. We are shifting closer and closer to that low cost model and away from ULCC. We deserve better compensation and they know it. Don’t do the Companies negotiations for them. Our job as a union is to reach parity and that means current rates plus additional pay. Not just current rates delayed until we are compensated 20-30% behind the industry.
