This was a HUGE opportunity to stand united and show management that we are ready for contract negotiations. Instead, it seems many are happy/complacent/whatever with status quo; which is constant contract violations, pay cuts, and general disrespect from upper level management. FAPA literally had to beg, plead and send daily reminder emails to another 25% who waited til the last minute to complete it.

I am NOT defending those LazyA$$ed MoFo's for Not taking the survey, but Your numbers are simply one, (of many) ways to look at it.

Another way to view it is that we have had a participation rate of +82%.

I submit to you that 82% ain't 100%; But 82+% is a Majority. Yes i wish it was 100%; but 82+% will have to do for now.

It will grow... It IS Growing... for now those are the numbers.

Thank you! I have to agree with you 100%. Any other airline with those #s for any Union issue would be fairly happy. Yes... I did the survey immediately when I saw it, but I am happy to see 82% for now. Solidarity is coming and it will continue to get better as time gets closer.
I guarantee (I hate to say it... But I will be a realist and not live in never land) that we won't see a 100% at any point. Granted, I do believe the # should be closer to 95 to 97 percent. We will see. It will take time, but everyone will be on board here soon... I believe.

Just a quick question, has Frontier now included a 500 PIC requirement for new hire FO applications. Cause I know over the past year, Frontier was desperately hiring FOs with 2500TT or above and PIC did not matter. But now I just filled out t heir application and noticed they are requiring a minimum of 500hrs PIC and thats the only i thing i dont have. And within half hour I got a Thanks But No Thanks from Frontier because the question where it asked if you have 500hrs PIC, I answered NO. All the other questions I answered yes and I met their req. So I am assuming now they want some PIC experience compared to none or low before.

The 500 hours PIC has been a hard minimum since they starting hiring two years ago. It does not need to be multi engine or turbine PIC, just regular old Cessna 172 pic will do

Pretty sure Frontier was not desperately hiring FOs. From what I saw, plenty of well qualified people are showing up to job fairs just to chat and drop off a resume...

thats good to hear that the bar is finally raised as Frontier had one of my buddies in the summer class who had decent time and with all due respect to him, he had 4 DUIs on his record and he got hired. So that kind of shows the desperation but as i said that was over the summer when they were not picky on the 500 PIC time and wanted people who would come and not go and cannot get hired anywhere else.

500 PIC is a hard requirement.
Hate to label, but you have no clue what you are talking about

Just briefly looking at your posting history you are the desperate one.

We hire about 50% some times less of the highly qualified pilots we interview, I don't see any desperation in that!
