Also , try interviewing when your 48 yo and have been a captain for 15 years. I'm sure your enthusiasm meter just isn't the same as when you were younger.
I think Spirit has a lot of younger captains in their 30s still and would make sense. Most of the guys leaving F9 are under 3 years and FO's hence the training contract.

Frontier has the highest percentage of its pilots living in one base of all the "majors". The only one of the big 4 you have a shot of getting DEN based within a reasonable amount of time is WN which would entail giving up the left seat of the bus to go sling gear on a 73 for 10+ years. You'll continue to see those hired in the last three years leave, but anyone here before that is likely in it for the long haul.

And for the previous poster, it is a terrible company to work for but I wouldn't go as far to call it a terrible place to work.

There are lots more that will leave on the junior side including captains, considering this airline a stepping stone. At the end of the day you have to look out for number one. With all of these Winning memos telling us how great we're doing, then negotiation sessions claiming we're in "challenging economic conditions", Biffle is not #1 for most.

Very well said. That's the most succinct capture of this sentiment I've seen yet, and I have been heretofore unsuccessful at expressing it completely. Thank you!

Does anyone have the contact information for the single room crashpads people are using during training?

Looking for advice: Is a 16G iPad for EFB purposes sufficient if its clean with nothing on it (books,music, etc.)? Or should I buy a new one with at least 32G. Thanks!

The company provides us with a stipend (every 3 or 4 years I believe?) and we are allowed to purchase what we want and also use it for personal use, as we are the owner.

They give you $600 for an iPad. I have a 32. No movies or music. But I have plenty of apps and pictures on it. Never had a problem. Last I looked, I could get away with a 16 if I wanted.
