you may be truthful. Only problem is you’re a unicorn. Most others want what I want.

if flexibility is so good, why do we have the attrition rate we have?

Pay rates and flexibility are probably roughly equally weighted in people's decisions to stay or go.

We must protect our QOL/flexibility while achieving pay rates in the ballpark of the legacies to stem attrition

There’s two unicorns because I’m a no vote if we give up drop/swap.

so there are levels of QoL as it pertains to trading, etc.

Drop/swap is necessary. I’m a no voter if we lose that as well. But keeping it with subpar rates are gonna mean the same thing for our future - we won’t grow at all.

It could only be denied 4 (2 of 4 are even) of 30 days las captain for September right now and 2 of the next 6 for august. And las is a mess right now. That’s nowhere near most of the time. Stop trying to give away provisions please.

Exactly right. Pilots need to stop worrying about the companies job to staff and grow.

I don’t believe they want us to give it up. I’m fairly confident they want to tie it to res coverage. Right now it’s not outside 48 hrs. Your res coverage is not my problem when trade/drop/swap. That is the most important provision to keeping the grid clean on most days. Especially during meltdowns where a ton of res are used. It’s a provision that most carriers don’t have. Most are tied to a res grid.

Bold strategy cotton, interestingly enough, we have yet to have one pilot leave a legacy to become a flexible frontier pilot. As I’m watching former frontier pilots already upgrade at the legacies in record time. Are legacies closing their ORD base on a whim and the pilots find out from internet blog sites, no. That was here. Pilots lives completely uprooted by management. Sounds like an awesome display of flexibility.

what I’m saying is why give up something that is already under company control…….. CONCESSION STAND CLOSED….
