I’ve spoken with dozen of line pilots and the consensus is that management and union are fighting and getting in petty arguments instead of focusing on a deal.

You guys really need to join ALPA. I saw the ****show that was going on over through your forums the last year and it is nauseating that that kind of leadership is allowed to exist through teamsters.

Nah, in my experience that’s the consensus outside of a handful of folks who you can pretty well typecast.

You must be a Denver guy. Makes sense.

the company has no desire to make ANY changes so..........
move the process along, dot the I's and cross the T's to get released....

Exactly. We just need to move step by step thru the RLA process to getting released. Unfortunately there won't be natural supply and demand pressure on the company this time.

That and it looks like the President elect will get to choose his head for NLRB. I’m not so sure they’ll be as friendly to labor as the Biden appointee.

He could replace nmb bod members. That’s what happened last time. He replaced 2 of 3. After that there’s a senate confirmation process. Took around 6 months after inauguration. As we know that board wouldn’t release us from mediation.

“Voting against”, I’d like you to meet “your own best interests.”

With the financials public, who really thinks F9 can afford a new contract? We all want a new contract but bottom line, the company CANNOT afford it. I've seen guys/gals posting on FB about the decrease in block hours year over year, quarter over quarter.. Revenue shrinking quarter over quarter. Planes sitting on the ramp. Do they not get it? They're making changes to the "New Frontier" because they're not making any money and they need to try something different. If we get a contract anytime soon, buckle up because we'll be right where NK is.

smartest guy in the room here to do the companies negotiating for them.

lol. If you feel that way vote no on the first contract offer we get. lol.


The company as it has been operating has a PR and Image issue. We deserve more than legacies based on number of pax on a plane on any given day.

We are frontier’s cost saving advantage. If you’re really fine making way less than your peers across the industry go work for G4. The 90% of Frontier pilot group will continue to demand parity.
