Latest system bid 26-01 - no upgrades, but I doubt that'll last forever. Frontier's always been pretty hit-or-miss with hiring and upgrades.

Says who? Usually given past years they stop training in the summer time with all hands on deck and begin late August/September again. This place doesn’t know what they are doing first it was hiring 40-60 every three weeks with 30 upgrades a month now it’s we are pausing everything. Idk how they think that’s a good idea… I believe from the people I’ve talked to our attrition is about to skyrocket. Especially after the poor excuse of JD saying what needs to be fixed all while saying no contract on 26. Yeah pound sand bro.

Rejecting 24 airplanes in 3-4 months will do that.

It looked like Biffle had a plan nearly double block hours to swoop in for market share in the event of an NK chapter 7. Between NK continuing to hang on and a change of leadership, the new direction is a more pragmatic 10% increase over the year.

A training contract said the department is buttoned up for the remainder of this year. With the high attrition numbers, the hope is in 2027 we will be right sized.

Contact? Not saying you or the "Contract" is wrong but even they don't know ******* until the last minute. Attrition should skyrocket. 40 plus a month. There will be more classes this year, I guarantee that.

With UAL cutting their hiring in half and Delta mostly done with hiring this year, I doubt it.

FOs have nowhere to go
CAs will have to wait til next year.

Attrition was nice while it lasted. Glad I got my ticket out. Good luck folks it was real.

I think we all are glad you got your ticket out. When is your last day? We’ll make sure we celebrate.

I went to go verify his claims. Not only did I find his information to be false, I also found him getting the same treatment over there.
