And you seem to care far less about the content of my postings than just the fact that you object to me doing the posting at all. Have I wronged you in some previous life? Because I certainly don't recall doing it in this life. Yes, I have opinions - most people do. And you are perfectly free to agree, disagree, refute them, or just ignore them altogether. That seems to be enough for most people. Why isn't it for you? You seem offended by my very existence.

Since F9 seems to be firing probationary pilots willy-nilly as a negotiating tactic, it's probably worthwhile having this post here. Would suck to end up right back at your old regional six months later, minus a few years of seniority.

Seeing that kind of behavior on behalf of F9 made me reconsider going there.

Lighten up, regional forum police.

I wouldn’t have seen this otherwise. Thanks OP for posting.

If the company cancelling over 100 pilot vacations in AUG, or getting fired for calling in sick on probation still doesn’t phase you and you still want to blow money on a hotel for the interview, just because they called. The airline is owned by investors. They don’t give a rat’s a$$ about employees, passengers, or on time performance. Heck, they don’t give a crap about the airline, except for the the fact that it’s a cash machine for them. They make millions on every aircraft delivery. They sell them to a leasing company and lease them back. They don’t own anything. They’ve sold off as many gates as they could get away with without completely destroying the airline. They have barely any assets. They have a certificate, gates at various airports, HQ people, flight attendants and Pilots. It is basically an Airbus leaseback company that happens to have scheduled service. I’m not sure how long Frontier is even going to be around. Don’t waste your time. Whatever they’re promising they are lying. Upgrades are well over three years and climbing. And you’ll be on reserve for well over a year. You might hear stories of a guy getting off reserve in 6 mos but it sure as heck won’t be you. If you’re after an Airbus type raring, it would be cheaper and much better quality of life if you just bought your own type. If you were hitting on someone at a bar and they were an awful person with anal warts, herpes and would mug you and leave you for dead if you took them back to your room with you, wouldn’t you want someone who knew that to tell you so you could go talk to someone else. Well let me just say there is a reason Frontier calls first. But if you still want to get into bed with them, it’s your call.
