Gary yes I posted in 2 places as I was looking to see the appropriate place to post it. Nevertheless I should have googled prior to posting. Thank you for reminding me that. I actually thought there’s more to the matter as & wanted to get a better perspective from a Frontier Pilot to see if there were more options along the lines of a strike & not officially call it one. Like a mass sick call out or something like that. Didn’t mean to offend anyone as I am a fellow pilot too & I would definitely stand in solidarity with you guys any day. Hope you guys get better pay soon.

Pulled breaker....no I don’t get any bonus & neither do I have the time to recruit anyone. It was just a question that I asked. Didn’t think it would trigger speculation from you. Nevertheless I will use the search engine before I ask a question. Lesson learnt. Thank you for your reply.

Jetflight77 has management written all over him. You can’t talk about a sick out or illegal strike without ramifications. I’ve never heard even a hint of such thing, but if I had it wouldn’t have been from APC.

"Frontier is not a good place to work right now. The recent new contracts at Spirit and JetBlue have further solidified our position as an outlier, with the lowest rates in the industry. Our pilots make at least 50% less than other narrow body pilots. In addition, the company has become much more vindictive towards our group since our last report to this Board. Management has cancelled vacations for three months in a row. Probationary pilots are getting fired for violating attendance standards they didn’t know existed. Pilots have been threatened with discipline for calling in sick, even if that sick leave had been previously approved. Here’s how bad it is: we’ve had more than 1,700 dispute forms filed – more complaints than we have pilots on the property." - ALPA
We're deeply appreciative from the support we have received from #WeAreALPA. It's good to know 64,000 members have our back.

This is all true. But since anybody currently considering employment at Frontier is arguably incapable of translating the message let me elaborate...the largest organized group of pilots in the entire world is saying, “Don’t go to Frontier.”

You, the applicant, might say, “So what? I’m just going to get an Airbus type. I’m headed to Delta or United anyway.” Make sure that’s your answer when the pilots in the Delta/United interview ask you, “Why did you go to Frontier when our union told you not to?” Or they might ask, “How long do you think your selfishness delayed a fair contract for our ALPA brothers at Frontier?”

Excellent point!
