I’m tired of seeing pilots not following their SOPs as stated by our Chief pilot and Union. People not wearing and supporting the Unions simple basic instructions. I’m also tired of listening and hearing about new hires in the Q saying “well it’s better than where I came from”. I definetly don’t want to read about it from someone who isn’t even on property I am assuming by your post.
We have enough juicers already...
Saying that some place is better than this one during a labor dispute won’t win you any friends on here. I read through these Interview posts (which I shouldn’t ) and I see to much of this 💩.
Did you know you can upgrade at Frontier super fast..?Brand new shiny jets and all. Hell FedEx I hear has a fast upgrade.

I’ll say “Congrats” and “Welcome” as I’d think coming from a 135 op this would be a good career move. I’d just caution to come with realistic expectations. Movement is slow (few retirements) so getting off reserve could take awhile and upgrades…who knows?? You've obviously seen the pay rates, compared to the majors. One great thing is if it doesn’t work out for whatever reason, you can leave, anytime, without penalty.
Heads up…when you hit the line you’ll fly with a lot of different cats. Not too long ago I flew one trip with a big company guy…helping out all over the place (to the point of annoying other work groups), cutting corners to make things happen, etc. I wondered if this guy even knows we’re in a labor dispute? Very next trip flew with someone the extreme polar opposite – which was fine except he was also one cold fish – to me, the FAs, gate agents, van driver, etc. Now, to be fair I don’t know if he’s like this because of the labor dispute or if that’s just how he is. Fortunately I’d say the majority of guys I fly with are somewhere in the middle – they generally follow union guidance but are also fine (even great) to fly with.
So I’d just say wear your lanyard and when you hit the line start to get up to speed on / participate in Alpa stuff….folks will respect that. Sorry – more than I intended to write
Best of luck and if you have any questions on training feel free to PM me
