That’s an honest question. What did they lose?
We have some better work rules, schedule flexibility and better vacation then they do.

The concessions we are likely to face will be small and inconsequential. Our NC is excellent and has excellent support from ALPA national. Trust our NC, they know what they are doing.

This is going to be a long, tough fight but they have a plan and are executing it. We already have a mediator assigned to us after just 6 months.

We need it with the amount of commuting required and the new day trip model moving the cost of hotels from the company to the pilots.

That wasn’t my point though. My point was, to my knowledge, Delta didn’t have to give up anything to make an industry leading contract. If we only intend to match them why should we give an inch?

I am also generally pleased with the results thus far. Fairly decent communication and entering mediation asap.

not trolling, honest question. Frontier doesnt generate revenue on par with American, Delta or United, but they also don't have the same level of expenses. After the bills are paid, where does Frontier's net results compare to other airlines on a per seat basis to factor in the discrepancies in company sizes? Genuinely curious.

Revenue isn't the best apples-to-apples comparison. Better using net profit margin. In that case, F9 didn't lose as much during the pandemic as the legacies, but since the recovery we've lagged almost all the competition.

Frontier 12-year Captain pay: $270.07 X 1.30 = 351.09

Current Delta 12-year Captain pay on Airbus 320 = 351.89

30% would bring it industry standard

Did Barry say this ? Did the word "thirty" (come from his lips? ?

Note that 20% is below "Big-3" but not much

I don't think Barry is that stupid to say this in public. It could have been taken out of context but nobody we know was in the room.

Don't believe it until you see it in a TA. That being said, the real value of a contract isn't the Section III portion anyways.

For a while Frontier was one of the most profitable airlines in the world. That's no longer the case. We are basically just breaking even right now

Frontier has a huge slope in its pay scale from years 2-11 that needs to be fixed. This fix requires way more than 30%

SWA 12 year captain is $364/hour if you use our low-ball conversion factor of 1.149.
