Everyone keeps talking about all this QoL stuff, but I think everyone is missing the big picture here.

1) Does Frontier get to wear a shell jacket instead of a leather coat?

2) How long should we stall JCBA so that we can have facial hair?

We (Frontier) have been in an epic standoff with Biffle over jackets for years now. The union asked to add a shell style jacket and he said only if we all wear hats.

I want that damn jacket.

As for facial hair, so long as you wear a mask I think you can rock about any facial hair you want

You should have accepted the deal and then wore headsets over the hats like WW2 bomber pilots.

No lie, we had a guy do that in the FBO’s at my last job because he didn’t like to talk to people.

Allegiant literally just got beards approved with a bunch of guidance on it. But still, they have beards now. Hopefully this sets a precedent

I imagine Florida is more willing to give bigger tax breaks than Colorado.

Taxes are frequently the deciding factor in things like this

And the building is still being built. Still time left to make some changes. And I’m sure the building is spec’d for airline operations in terms of IT and configuration. And although Miramar is exactly on the coastline, I think operating through hurricanes is still a huge consideration. I would expect hurricane proof glass on the north and east facing windows, and a backup generator system to power through a week long power outage. If you put in some sleep rooms and showers you can keep the operation going through the storm.

Part of the OCC is already in Orlando for this reason.
