Really?

That goes for nearly every airline on the planet.

On a positive note for ULCC's Alegiant bus & 80 pilots earn more than their peers at DAL.

This is a good read:

I predict within 5 years Frontier and Spirit will have merged. That combo will be unstoppable.

I don't know about unstoppable, but I do hope that NK and Frontier merger you speak of will allow their pilots to negotiate to become the worlds best paid/QOL Airbus pilots on the planet, then they will have my utmost respect and admiration in addition to receiving total consciousness on your deathbed which will be nice.

He made a joke. It's a line from Carl the greens keeper in Caddy Shack.

What kind of ipad holders does Frontier use in the cockpit?

I need to buy an ipad case but I want to make sure I get something that is compatible.

Thanks.

They use the RAM mounts, specifically the ones that look like this Tablet Mounts | RAM Mounts

Any size case should work, although I've heard the crazy huge ones might give you problems. They should have a mount in the classroom so you can test it out.

I can't remember the type, but any case should fit. It's a clamp type holder-I haven't seen anyone have issues with it. Also, they'll give you a frontier case in training for free if you want to wait (unless that's changed in the past few years)

Most "majors" don't pay for a hotel in training. Look at what u get paid at NK with a free hotel & compare that with F9 & no hotel. It might come out relatively even. Also, how many sim sessions in training at each place & how does the washout rate compare? Very short-sited I know but you seem to be basing an employer / career choice on short-term metrics. All the best either way....
