But wait we have two year upgrades.

I seriously do not understand why anyone pays $100+ for a stupid job fair ticket to work for an airline that clearly has intentions of improving employee moral.

I think next time Nides comes to a recurrent class instead of everyone listening to the BS and arguing with him. If everyone just sat there silent or better yet take a coffee break.

You would also be surprised how many guys are still doing single-engine taxis and waiting until they get back to Denver before writing up a new maintenance issue. It's baffling

Ahhhh, the ever grateful Denver pilot doing whatever it takes to keep his or her base. A little unity will go along way. A few sacrifices may be required to really show them you guys are serious as well. Nothing happens til you're all on the same sheet of music with each other.

Something to keep in mind if you want work at F9. You may very well be placed in an awkward position if (when) we strike. Being on probation could be a bad deal..........

The frontier group gets exactly what it deserves.
Anyone who comes here with any other intention than to get a type and get out is a genuine fool.

The fact that this still goes on here is mind boggling to me (I see it as well). How anyone can continue to taxi on one engine, keep write up's till Denver, and basically do anything to help the company is unreal.

I agree so vehemently with this statement. With the new pay rates coming to Allegiant, they are just one example of "another" better option for pilot employment! You desire F9 employment right now, you are out of your mind. A pilot group on the brink of explosion, and a management team that might honestly reside on a different planet, why would you even consider it??? Check out other options, and keep F9 as your "safety" choice. Avoid at all costs!! Let mgmt exhaust their hiring needs from their Silver and Lakes flow programs. Honestly, you do not want to be caught in the middle of a strike as a probationary pilot. Scab if you attempt work, fired if you walk!! Good luck all!

The company is raking in profits hand over fist and I can guarantee you'll make one or two bucks more than you are at your current regional. But nothing more than that, business conditions are brutal for airlines these days. And to make sure we get to keep you as part of our "team", I'll make sure to sign you up for a 2 year/24k training contract. Better hurry though, interview slots for this place are gonna fill up fast! Heck, you'll even get a "great job" email from BB himself on Friday before the holiday. That's worth more than anything money can buy.

A note should be added to 'send mechanic to gate xx', as flight crew placarding can be tricky via ACARS and places a level of responsibility on the pilot, that should be placed on MX. Pilots are not getting paid to maintain the airworthiness of the aircraft. Leave that to the professionals that are getting paid to do it.

Don't forget to get extra gas in case you need to go slow, go fast, or deviate (whichever is safest for you!)

Be safe out there!!!
