Frontier vs Cape Air might be a better question for this guy.

I can't believe this thread even exists.

I'd pick the airline that doesn't fly regional jets. The difference in A320 pay at b6 vs f9 averages $30/hour which equates to an average of 12%, not the $50-$60 that was exaggerated. I'm unaware of b6's work rules but it's common knowledge that f9's work rules/flexibility are superior to b6's which allows that difference to easily be negated.

Those RJ rates are not far off your bus rates...especially if you look in the beginning/middle longevities of the two pay scales. And the A220 rates (replacing the 190s) are higher than your bus rates. And the entire rest of the contract is pretty much better at JB, except for maybe premium over 82 credit at F9. Frontier isn’t even in the same league. I have your CBA and have read most of it. Your work rules aren’t superior. Your flexibility might be better due to our being understaffed right now, but work rules? Frontier is not a bad place to be stuck, especially with all the planes on order, but trying to say commuting from BOS to a F9 job is even remotely close to driving to B6 in BOS? That’s laughable.

Your reading comprehension is poor. I said you’d be making $50-$60 more as a F9 Captain for a couple years before you’d have the chance to upgrade at Jetblue on the Airbus and drive to work. Although it’s offset a little by Frontier’s low first year pay rate.

If you are unaware of JetBlue’s work rules, how do you know that difference between the pay rates can be easily negated? If your contract was that strong, it would’ve been included in the new SWA contract comparison guide with the Big 3, Alaska, Jetblue and Spirit.

The worst part of your argument is that this person would be commuting to a F9 base out of Boston....basically ruling out the ability to pick up soft time to make up that 12% difference you alluded to. He would make more flying a 190 “regional jet” driving to BOS as a Captain vs commuting as a Frontier Airbus CA.

This is why I shake my head when people create these “Airline vs Airline” threads. To the OP, talk to your friends or people who work at these airlines that you TRUST. It’s only your career we’re talking about.
