I don’t really think the stepping stone thing is much of a big deal anymore... there’s hardly any attrition now... the pilots still do the hiring... it’s just more objective than subjective now...
For anyone who thinks indigo is going anywhere, they’re dead wrong... indigo is going to own frontier for a very long time... there might be a partial ipo but that’s probably about it... we have something like 200 planes on order... I don’t know the exact numbers but I’d bet we’ll have even more than projected... the pilot shortage is real and out of all the indigo owned airlines, frontier is the only one right now and in the future that will probably be able to adequately staff those airplanes and even that’s not a guarantee...
There is light at the end of the tunnel and there’s some cool things going on... if you like time off, you can get time off... if you want to make money, you can make money (in RGS, someone said a Denver CA was near $700k this year and a 3rd year ORD FO was at $280k)... this place will always be cheap and the same bs you put up with at your regional, will probably happen here... there are worse fates....

I did 140 credits last month with vacation... no PAF... flew one extra trip... had 19 days off... it’s very doable if you’re selfish and have no life
