Just tell the recruiters how enamored you are with a business model that's dead last in both on-time departures and customer satisfaction. Then for good measure let them know you love redeyes and flying 18 days a month just to break guarantee. You'll be in class next week!

Leslie - I'll be interested to hear your report on June once you get it ironed out the way you like it. Honest request - no sarcasm.
The grim customer complaint situation is a BIG deal. I hope the leadership shakedown is more than just symbolic, and they seriously intend to deal with this problem NOW.
The level of customer service at Denver has plummeted! I'm seeing it with my own eyes every day! We all know why too, and as bad as I feel for them, what's done is done, we can't un-ring the 'outsource' bell on this one, but we'd better figure out a way to make it ring well, and STAT!

I have never had less than 16 days off at Frontier since I held a line after 2 months of Reserve last spring. I usually have 17 or 18 off! Even if the hard line starts at 12 days off, you can trade and make it 16-18 easily. I am usually at 75 hrs to accomplish this, but could get better credit too if I wasnt a commuter.

Above post aside however, it would be nice if more of the lines simply started with 16-20 days off, and we didn't have to "work" i.e. swap/drop/trade, to get our schedules there. Things like additional credit for Red Eye flying, 5+hr min day, 2:1 or better Duty Rig are needed to accomplish this, and are just some of things we should be looking for in our next contract.

Our schedules suck and every month they get worse. This is coming from an 8 year FO. For you guys who think the schedules are good, you should have seen them back in the day. 3 on, 4 off was easy.
I shouldn't have to be a FLICA whoore to get the schedule I want. For those of us who have spouses that work, it is hard to adjust your schedule.
If you don't care what days off you get, you can modify your schedule easier.

No one is making the argument that our schedules are good! How could we with a 13 day off line average for June in DEN. Protections certainly need to be put into place that prevent our average days off from falling so low, but this contract simply wasn't built with the amount of red eyes that we currently fly in mind. Red eyes are a necessary evil on our road to profitability IMO. I'm simply saying that we DO have excellent scheduling language that lets us tailor our schedules however we want. My wife works a full-time job as well, with days off that change monthly. I get every single one of her days off, every month, and I bid in the middle of the pack in DEN. I don't find it that hard to navigate MOT, DOT, Flica Alerts, ect.
