Lance is a great deal, which might explain why most Lances are way senior to the junior captains in their domicile.

A lance that cannot give away his flying as an FO would be pretty limited to what they can pick up. IF—you can clear your flying line, it is a good deal for a limited time.

Yes, but they'd be seat locked for 4 months and I believe need to have the seniority as an FO to hold the lance designation. But that part is clear as mud to me

Frontier is small and relatively Junior. Not sure relative seniority (ALPA merger policy) would make sense…placing a 5 yr employee above 20 yr employees…prob not going to happen.

I could see a DOH integration (call it an acquisition instead of a merger) with a seat/base lock for 5 yrs or something for the airbus CA’s.

I’d still rather let them fail on their own and grow organically…I’ve been screwed over by this industry for 17+ years…I’d like it to end and actually get ahead at some point.
