Maybe frontier can convince Denver to finally build Concourse D, and make it a an actual airplane drive-through? Pull up onto the conveyor, set the brake, wait for your turn to be handled.

So now we have a "flow-through" agreement with Ameriflight. Awesome.

What about using those big "people-movers" that they have in IAD to move people between concourses? They could use one gate to load passengers into two people-movers and then they could just jam the passengers in from the front and back of the plane on some remote concrete pad a mile from the terminal! The line of passengers waiting at the one gate to ask a question would be spectacular!

And sure people would be plenty mad, but who cares, it would save money right?!

We have few AMF guys here, great pilots. I know you are not talking about the pilot group over there, I am just making a comment.
Why would they take a pay cut to come to F9?

I'll take a freight dog sitting next to me any day of the week. Good for them.

I feel the same. But I'm a freight dawg too in a former life, so maybe I'm biased.

I wasn't attacking the merits of freight pilots at Ameriflight or any other cargo outfit, just like I have nothing against our former Silver and Great Lakes pilots.

They (the company) are having problems recruiting pilots, and I'm going to say it has something to do with the substandard pay and high cost (for most) to start training with this company; and that's just for starters. They are using flow-through agreements as a mechanism to plug the holes in the leaky ship. They're content with duping the next group to come onboard, with the promise of a 2-year upgrade that doesn't exist. Instead, they could be making this a fair and good place to work.

Speaking of upgrade time, the junior CA award on the recent vacancy went to ORD, for an April 2014 hire. That equals about a 3 year upgrade almost to the day for said pilot.

Jr DEN CA went to a 10/07 hire.

Undstood. As a former freight dog, I was merely stating a fact. I was not referring your post.

The question was posed to J.N last month concerning F9 future hiring needs and the fact they cannot use upgrade as a selling point after 2017. His response $$$. He knows. He has a clue. I hope he can clue in Indigo bean counters because they will have a bunch of shiny new planes and no F.O's to fly em.
