Fresh newhire? Maybe indoc? Not sure you’d want that pay cut though.

AeroCrew News (on FB) advertised a Meet The Chiefs event in February at MCO. I don't see it listed anywhere on actual Frontier pages. Just wondering if any of you folks have heard anything about it? I'm hoping to find out if it is legit before I start moving my schedule around to attend. Thanks!

Sure, some will. But, unlike being at the regionals and making peanuts, many will begin to find it hard to justify leaving when they are making great money and gaining really good seniority at a growing company. Many will come in with the “this is only temporary attitude”, but many will also be singing a different tune a year or two in. I know I was.

Why would anyone do that?
