I know everyone can find a way to help out and make management's job easier so it better matches their capabilities.
Just yesterday, catering stocked a broken airplane but then flat out refused to transfer the carts over the the new tail (gates were right next to each other!!!). We were told to either go with zero or get the items ourselves. I don't get how F9 would let catering just flat out refuse like that. They lost out on SO much ancillary revenue with a packed flight of holiday travelers.

I see no reason why Frontier and others can’t fight for more and take advantage of rising tides. I’m coming here to get away from the regional life, for many of the QOL reasons you guys cite, and for the hope pay and benefits continue to increase.

Contracts got much better. Nowadays their contract is used to compare during negotiations with other “Majors”.
They had GREAT management that was more interested in running an airline and taking care of their employees than squeezing every nickel they could get out of them.
