You do understand that as long as the stack of resume's is more than a dozen deep, and pilots are willing to sign said training contracts, then the impetus to change F9's $2700/month/new hire training contract is really not there for mgmt. Especially if your model is to be an ULCC which means your #1 focus as a manager is COST.
Absolutely understand.

Just as regionals won't change their pay while people keep showing up at their door.

I get it. Don't worry.

Last thing I'd say is.... F9 is not a regional.

No doubt looking back to the 80's/90's that ALPA/unions giving up the RJ to subcontractors was a big mistake, but as a profession, we must try and make sure it doesn't spread like a cancerous ulcer in both equipment size and prevalence.

Please keep fighting the good fight for just compensation as a professional pilot!

We are truly our own worst enemies by accepting jobs like this. Enjoy your food stamps.

It wasn't to long ago that starting pay at AA was actually two dollars less than what F9's is now.
Frontier is laying the base for a solid future. I believe good things are to come.
PilotLife has it right. Wiz, if you haven't cared enough to do some cursory level research about Frontier's history, your opinion is meaningless. I get what you're trying to say, none of us are happy about the pay, but comparing us to MESA/GL without knowing what's really going on over here isn't cool. Perhaps you didn't mean it the way it sounded. Hope Delta works out for you.

A career is a long time. A contract that is amendable in 2 months is not.

Don't pick an airline based on today's contract. Pick an airline based on its business model. If you believe in the ULCC, frontier looks to have a bright future. A new contract will make frontier a very competitive place to work

You realize it's payroll deductible if you accept one!

I kid

They're in the cpo. They are small, but pretty cool. I caught my seven year old girl swishing it through the air making jet sounds.

What have I done?
