Time will tell.
If we play our cards right, it will give us some leverage in negotiations come March 2016. Until then it's buyer beware. F9 NEEDS pilots and pilots now have options.

I hope the supply / demand curve pushes pilots to the Legacies (I'd be finding my way to AMR right now if I were 30ish), and away from the low paying hopeful Frontier (ever try buying a house with hope?). There was a pilot in the September class who already had a UAL class date when he showed up for training at F9. That's what sub-par pay and high minimums buy in terms of loyalty. That also explains why the talk about training contracts keeps circulating. Our management ALWAYS goes for the stick before the carrot.
Don't come here with the expectation that the pay rates, management / employee relationship or contract will change. Only come here if you are OK with the status quo, because that's what it's gonna be until it's not - and who knows when that'll be.
