Good riddance ..
They won't be gear jerkers long though.

I'm happy for them.

I don't have to fly with them, so I'm happy for me.

I really hope it works out for clear creek. Historically UA has have had multiple furloughs, it is definitely a gamble on his part. The pay off is greater then the risk. He clearly wasn't happy here, better for us and him not to have him here working. Plus I think he was Sr to me

The collective term for pilots (3 or more), is a whinge of pilots.

Because Frontier has been the historical pinnacle of career stability????? Give me a break. The whole industry is a giant crap shoot until the day you fly your last flight.

Frontier are known for stability in the sense that they always have the lowest pay and worst contract.

I will flat out tell the drivers to slow down, stop texting, etc. you also need to be reporting unsafe driving to your hotel committee and filing
incident reports (or whatever you may call them at frontier). The unsafe driving is an industry problem that a lot of us seem to tolerate and I’m over it. We have families to return to and the more of us that report it the more it comes up and contracts get pulled and change happens. Report the condition of the vehicle too. Bald tires, inop seatbelts, warning lights in the dash, all unacceptable.

Pilots will file a grievance over a hotel room only having a shower and not a bathtub but will get in transportation outsourced to the lowest bidder with half a million miles on the vehicle and a dumbass driving like he’s in the final lap of the 500 drafting behind the lead car.

I agree with most of what you said here but “warning lights in the dash”. Cars today can have a check engine light on for maybe literally a million reasons and most of those are trivial. If you filed a complaint over something that trivial I think it hurts your case.
