That was good advice years ago and was never more true than now. Re-read the post by Mr. Pegasus. He has a good read on things here and good advice as well.
How many RAH pilots are flying Frontier out of DEN and MKE. Would you guys really furlough and downgrade if Frontier fails?

With LGA being jr, how painful will be the commute from PHL or BAL? Given that the commute is "always painful."

Also, how long do you think one would currently have to sit reserve at Shuttle?

Training time? Location? Single occupancy hotel - company paid?

Thanks again...

Roughly 300 total pilots are involved with the F9 operation, however those pilots are not going to be specifically at risk, anyone in the bottom 300 of the total list is on the chopping block. We are so short handed right now that I don't worry about a mass furlough all that much. Honestly F9 will be running for at least 12 more months and at that point we'll have hiring going on at the big boys. WE need to run another upgrade class here pretty quick. I still think 2 years for upgrade unless/until F9 fails.

Training will be in IND then STL. Double occupancy and hotel is paid for. Plan on about 6 weeks from start to IOE.

6-8 weeks before IOE. There is a lot of training going on right now. Flight Safety is slammed! But the rest is accurate and complete. The Holiday Inn kinda sucks FYI...but at least it has a pool!

2 years for upgrade? So you think upgrade today is 2 years for a newhire? The upgrade is over four years right now.

You can not judge an upgrade time of four years being that the company hasn't had any hiring or movement in near 3 years. I'd say the 2 or 2.5 years is accurate.
