Hopefully you bring a consultant with you when you negotiate for cars or other high ticket items

The more people that do pass up F9 and the harder it is to staff the growth of the airline, the less your management can deny the fact they need to catch up to the rest of the industry.

It makes total sense to me for regional guys that are comfortable in their current situation to pass on F9 while waiting until the airline with the compensation package, QOL etc. that suits their needs calls. It just might be F9 when your management finally wakes up and you guys get the contract you deserve.

Don’t take it so personally is all I’m trying to say

Very well put. But unfortunately (and I mean unfortunately!) I think it's irrelevant. There simply will never exist a scenario where Frontier cannot staff their airline. The bottom of the barrel runs very deep. There are plenty of people not hirable at Legacies. There are plenty of people who will choose F9 over a stagnant regional.

Banking we get a contract because people won't come here is wishful thinking, a bad strategy, and puts us waiting forever.

Please don't say F9 is already having trouble finding pilots. They are not. They are still turning away 50% of interviewees. Their pickiness will come down, as necessity dictates, as it measurably already has, but they will always find plenty of bodies for their seats. They decide how many classes to run and how big, and their current short staffing issues are a result of their hiring decisions, not for lack of qualified applicants.

F9 wishes to double the number of candidates immediately. You heard it here first.

Completely agree.

I have talked to several RJ captains on my commute and they have received invites to interview at F9 and are declining them. It's a shame that we are losing out on good candidates.

I've been contemplating applying, but honestly I can't justify the pay. That and the absurdity of no paid hotels in training. I think Delta doesn't pay for a portion of hotel's during training, but do I even have to make an argument about it? I wish you guys the best of luck and mainly for a contract sooner than later. Until then I'll stay on the sidelines.

got an invite for the virtual job fair. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the process. what should one expect and what is dress code. I will be on the road. Is my uniform acceptable or should I bring a dress shirt and alternate tie?


thanks

I dont think they'll have trouble getting guys. I was on a commute the other day. Sitting in the jumpseat on the ERJ175. Both the SkyWest Captain (2006 DOH) and FO (not sure how long he'd been at SkyWest) accepted the job at F9 and seemed really excited.
