You guys are cute with your Frontier themed skirts and matching pom poms! Seriously though, playing this recent near halt in hiring and upgrades as the "normal" slowdown over the summer has a nice company apologist ring to it.
In other news, have all the original April, May, and beyond class hires been given start dates yet?

There are also those who were here before the hiring and experienced several years of no hiring at all.
Point is, it's not apologist. It's reality. It's how Frontier/Indigo want to operate the airline. I don't really care if they choose to have these tidal hiring patterns as long as the end numbers are there. Ask those in the know, the company has already stated they do not intend to hire next June-Aug/Sept.

If we grow the fleet by 18 airplanes in a given year, there is a corresponding number of pilots that need to be hired. Doing simple math, I can already see that if we hire 48 a month at the beginning of the year, we will stop hiring during the summer again. (Like every summer). I'm not being an apologist, I'm doing math.
I don't understand why you come on this forum to spread negativity that's often not based on reality. I post here when I can answer people's questions and be helpful. I think that showing people that 48/ month of new hires is way beyond the average needed is helpful information.

2019 started with the news of two new bases and 350 hires. Then it goes to zero. It's the same every year.
The one thing you can count on is a bunch of changes to manuals for the sake of change with no real experience. That hasn't slowed down.
