In 2006 Spirit airlines looked more promising than USAir. NKS also had better Airbus rates than most.
Alegiant wasn't a blip on the radar. In fact a year ago Alegiant had major management/pilot relation issues.
In the late 90's early 2000's Airborne Express was per hour one of the highest paying airlines on the planet with the best retirement package.
I was hired there. Ask me how that went.
This too shall pass and change.

Within two to three months some guys are holding long call reserve lines. 8hr and 12hr.
We have reserve shifts that are commutable in and out of the same day. Some just commutable out on last day or first day.

Good info Trowserchilli and I agree completely! Things will definitely change, and Frontier most certainly can be a great place to work again in the future.
With that being said, I've got to finally ask about that screen name of yours. It's been bugging me? The thing that comes to mind whenever I see it is 'Trouser Chili'. The only thing that comes to mind when I vision "chili in someone's trousers" is not that pleasant of a thought?!?
Help me to understand!?

Morale is incredibly low for everyone from flight crews to our outsourced gate agents and ground crew who are forced to do more and more with less and less resources. Employees and passengers alike are suffering due to the greed and short sightedness of our management, amid record profits.
It would be one thing IF this airline was well run but it isn't. The new NEO's deliveries we were supposed to be getting are delayed due to the MX program not being approved for them. On that note the mechanics are also trying to get a fair contract and being squeezed to the bone by management. They care nothing of good labor relations. Keep that in mind when looking at F9.

You can always leave F9 for a direct entry Captain position at a Regional and make more money, right? Oh wait, that would mean you'd have to again get used to being treated like a small farm animal with, at best, 12 days off per month.
How many days off you have last month? That's what I thought.
You made the decision to come here knowing the pay AND knowing that we are years away from a new contract. What, you think management is just gonna suddenly adopt a Santa Claus complex and give you a pay raise out of the goodness of their hearts? That doesn't happen...anywhere without a fight...ever.
Come on guys, wake up. This is reality.
