I’d love to see you guys make legacy pay, but until the company can consistently show a profit, they will have an extremely strong argument to the mediator that the pilot’s demands are simply unreasonable. Until Frontier shows that they are a profitable entity, management/Indigo will refuse to throw gas on the fire and the NMB will likely agree.

any logical person will understand this. A company not making money will never be able to afford to pay its employees more. Especially when there is no indication that the company is going to become profitable again. The only people who don’t understand are the few stubborn employees that think they deserve legacy pay rates because they fly the same equipment. Our company is LOSING money. We are closer to bankruptcy concessions than a new CBA in my opinion. Sure let’s press management for a new CBA then furlough 500 pilots because they can’t afford it 2 years from now.
