Anyone want to share how the new NC is going to force the company to give us a contract with 'market rates'?
Explain how the union is going to circumvent the RLA?
What is happening is called capitalism. Frontier has no problems hiring and now that Spirit pilots are on the street, even less of a problem... Especially since our planned growth has come to a screeching halt.
Supply and demand. Simple.
Our last contract came when they couldn't get enough people in the door. It appears that is the ONLY factor for their decision to offer more money. Just look at WNs glacial negotiations, they only came around when their attrition soared.
Between the 165/169 burning the house down and NK kicking how many thousand pilots to the street? We aren't going to see a contract anytime soon, let alone one with 'market rates'.
Next thing I'd be watching for is management finding a way to pull the carpet from under the cadets...
