First of all, to clear the air... I'd like to hear from all the doom & gloom pilots. The sinking ship advocates that wished nothing but ill will against F9. We're still here, stronger & united as ever. I thought we were going away according to the junior Einstein's on this forum? We want to hear from you know-it-all wannabe's. Your a-matter-of-fact, know-it-all statements, your probationary wisdom. Your statements aren't forgortten & we know whom a lot of you are. So, let's hear from you and how correct you were. It's like dealing with a 12 year old posting on this forum.

Let's get on with it, shall we

 

What stemmed this little outburst?

 

Frontier is still in business?

 

Nothing really, I'd just like to hear from the know-it-all's that fought tooth and nail until the bitter end, slamming F9 & childish name calling to get their incorrect point across. I find it funny how quiet they are, selfless & bitter in their own self distain. We all don't know as much as we think we do in this business. We're all in this together. Many have better jobs, due to luck or smarter choices. In the end, we are all pilots & proud of what we do despite our work rules or pay.

 

^^^^^This is why I drink OR post on layovers!

 

Yup still in business... & Probably doing business right next to you soon for quite a bit less

 

Okay, I'll bite.
No ill will at all towards Frontier, but I don't see any way Frontier can survive long term. With the number of order slots with Frontier's name on them, a relatively cheap labor force and a brand name with a following, Frontier is ripe for the taking. It won't be long before Frontier is merged, and my guess is with JetBlue. This would give JetBlue a lot more exposure to the central part of the United States, a ready infusion of much needed Airbus orders and a pilot group they can easily fold into JetBlue.
I wouldn't anticipate a lot of complaints from regulators seeing as how JetBlue isn't one of the top four airlines, Frontier doesn't hold a dominant position in any market and it's currently a privately held company.
Just my crystal ball guess, no expertise or inside knowledge, just a guess.
We're not done with the mergers.

 

Uh oh. Frontier is watching all of us!

 

We are all a few management missteps away, a financial meltdown away, a middle east war away or a successful terror attack away from liquidation. Frontier is no different. If you were searching for stability, you chose the wrong profession.

 

Your only the cheapest until your not. Make room for ALG or the new Eastern, etc

Frontier narrowly escaped being overtaken and run like a regional. Now they will have to compete with spirit, alg and all the other lcc's for business.
