Where is anyone coming up with .10 an hour less in per diem? Considering AA,AK,B6,DL,FX,NK,SWA,UA, and UPS Frontier pilots are earning .34 less an hour than the average. At 4-4 day trips a month it equates to hundreds of thousands of dollars when invested monthly over a 30-year career.

If we can be honest, this contract is so much better than the old one it is laughable. Hourly could certainly be more, but the sky is falling reassignment concerns have not happened. If fact I have already been delayed into a day off twice. That netted me 10 hours and a vacation day, and both times the reassignmentled to a dh on the last leg. First time, I got home before my original release time and the second time, I got home 90 minutes after.
Good thing companies like DL, AA, UA, and SWA aren’t having problems with loose and non financially punitive reassignment language. Oh wait. This place will always be a half-baked turd burger because of thinking like yours. |

Told him I was joining the frontier ranks when I asked for the ride and he immediately went on to tell me I was now the lowest paid airbus pilot in the world blah blah blah. I won’t let one bad apple dampen my excitement at the opportunity I have. |

Ok, you’re right. Frontier doesn’t have a shameful per diem rate and all of the real airlines aren’t fighting a reassignment battle. Also the pay rates up to year 12 are industry average. Copy. Thanks for clearing that up.

This place will always be a half-baked turd burger because of thinking like yours. As far as the per diem thing V1 and you claiming losses of “100s of thousands” you should recalculate. With four, four days at 75 hrs TAFB right now would cause you to lose $1,200 a year, that gap will eventually get closer and you will lose around 400 a year. Even with insane compound interest, and you packing food every trip it’s no where near $25,000 over 35 years let alone hundreds of thousands. Look I’m not defending our low per diem, I would have loved for it to be higher but let’s not be dramatic. Also, I know both Untied and Delta have re assignment language. Anyhow that’s all. |

Welcome Zoo. Please keep in mind that we fought a very tough battle with this company. Even the 77% who voted yes (I respect their positions) fought this hard battle right along side the 'no' voters. Some wounds are still fresh, and everyone has a right to express themselves, including you - new guy! That said I have advice. You can take it, or **** it right down the drain for all I care, but I'm going to give it anyway: Take a step back and humble yourself a little as you opine on a situation you did not endure. Calling out F9 pilots on this board before you even hit the line is stupid. |
