Very good point.
I sure hope our management team learned from that, but I doubt it. Reputation matters Pilots? Warm bodies. Plenty of those at every street corner. What Repubic (that's for Bedford and IBT, not the pilots) did is something completely different. Those that appear smart, intelligent, some sort of charisma and a good resume for the legacies? Move along, you are not welcome here. |
While I agree that Franke is probably smart and knows what he's doing, I question if he comprehends how quickly the market for pilots is changing. He probably all too fondly remembers the days of pilots needing 3000 hours of TPIC to get looked at by the regional. The pay to play and the thousands of pilots willing to accept any flying job no matter the compensation.
Of course, they can just drag out negotiations until it's immediately apparent that they can't fill classes, and then cave in. For them to offer raises a day before they have to, they are leaving money on the table. And for now, they are still easily filling classes. |

If anything Frontier likes it when people leave after a year or two. Second year pay is $28 an hour more than first year. They still save money even with training. |

Centre for Aviation's speculation on a Frontier IPO.
Cliff notes: F9's on-time performance sh!t the bed and will have to improve before gaining pricing traction on the public market - F9's investors are better off to wait until early 2017. Frontier Airlines' on-time performance hiccups in summer 2016; IPO still in abeyance | CAPA - Centre for Aviation |
NO, 2 year upgrades here, just false promises. And we are making 80-100/per hour less than our peers!!!!!!!

So only 1 aircraft is going to be delivered in 2017? Has that always been the case?

I believe the LOA67 interim pay proposal was intended to be MORE than reasonable, ... It's a game and the union is playing to win. So far I think the decision-making by our union has been excellent.

So, American and Southwest have proactively sent out alerts that their Florida operations will be essentially be closed for Hurricane Matthew. Frontier's response- "We are not anticipating any scheduling impact to MCO operations."
Say again? Good luck to all of those affected. Work should be the tail-end of your priority list this week. |
Yet Frontier SOC declared irregular operations starting at 1800 today?
