nah…once a month, maybe every other, they blindfold an intern in front of the country on a poster and give them a handful of darts that they have to throw all at once and just go with that.

Then when those blow up in the their face like Wile E Coyote with an Acme rocket they just blame the intern and fire them…then start the process over again after giving themselves a raise and a bigger golden parachute.

Oh, I thought they migrated all decision making to ChatGPT.

If someone is actually a route planner from F9, we’re sunk. I think I’d actually rather leave it with chatGPT.

In addition to what others said before with trough period, they are also only talking about Tuesday/Wednesday flights.

Why the actual ******* would you hire that guy?? Frontier’s network is an absolute joke! They’re always adding huge swaths of flights just to cancel them 2 months later, or running 1 flight a week and cancelling it, stranding their pax. That’s actually terrifying to me; no wonder we’re adding nonsense flights and dropping the routes before they even launch…

Because our last guy ragequit and went to DL. Then was offered a position at AA to keep him quiet.

I don’t think JB is a desirable place to be if you’re interested in network planning.

You have to read the whole profile. He worked at United. We partnered with them. Was the General manager of Bus operations in the Chicago transit authority. We fly Airbus… Worked for Air Canada. We almost started serving YHZ. Don’t you see the correlation here?

To be fair the frontier guys were not happy that he left. They said he seemed like the only competent one there. Watching the company videos he does seem very smart, I’m just confused on what the strategy is and who is exactly coming up with it. Just seems like we are in retreat mode everywhere.

We were told we needed to pull back stuff from the west because it wasn’t profitable but we would deploy it in the east, except now all we are doing is shrinking in the east as well. Delta is just going to keep putting their 175s all over us. These dudes need to plant a flag somewhere and apparently it’s a white one.
