I'll grant you that the Westies are all in a good spot now, but they've had to go through 10 years of pretty low pay to get there.

Got an F9 interview next month. We'll see.
FedEx type flying (ie..nothing but ****ty ass redeyes) with regional wages and none of the benes. If I would have to do it over agin I'd have stayed put.. Just my opinion. Best of luck.

He seemed pretty happy with his position in life.

"10 years" is sort of the same thing as a decade, correct? And the folks who were either on furlough or under a bankruptcy contract we can assume made "low pay", correct? So just to be clear, because you just reiterated my quote from the America West pilot, W-T-F is your point?

And good luck in your interview {no sacasm intended}.

Haha. I think it had to do with our Chairman knowing how to run a profitable airline, and America West being one of many profitable airlines Franke has had his mitts on.

In Other news, we've flown the 321 for 3 days and still no tail strikes, so that's good..

My point was simply that I'm sure not everyone had they same perspective on the whole deal as your friend, as evidenced by the torrent of acrimony on this and other boards.

Thanks. It sounds like fun flying.

I'm weighing all the pros and cons. I'm about to upgrade at my current shop, and have had some good feedback from recruiters from a certain Blue airline. We'll see.

Well gee, since they all have my resume I guess I let the cat out of the bag.

Newsflash: no one cares.

Congratulations and welcome! Yes, first year pay blows, second year is much better. I think frontier has a bright future ahead. Big growth should make life of a new hire pretty good
