My time at Frontier has grossly underwhelmed. However at least I’ve had a lot more time off than I would’ve had at the big boys.

Now regarding negotiations with a private equity fund. Never forget that they despise unions and that they are going to always attempt to belittle and humiliate the workforce, regardless of the industry. You are worth what you are willing to accept and in their eyes, you are not worth a penny more. My ex was a private equity attorney and would frequently work with PE funds. They would sit around the table and laugh about the ways they would try to demoralize the group. The reason for this is pretty simple, if you can convince a work group that they are worth less, it makes it much easier to sell the company as your labor price is lower. Of course the average PE fund holds a company for about five years and we are going on 12. My basic argument will always be that when employed by a private equity group we need to stand our ground and always remember that we are always worth what we contribute to this company. God bless the day that we merge, and we are no longer burdened by this group.
