I agree, we deserve legacy pay rates.

Do we think that the timing of this jcba might actually not be in our favor as the legacies probably won't be getting any pay raises any time soon?

We don't really have a good pattern to follow here. Maybe be best in some other airlines get new contracts and we can try and piggy back of them

One of them will sign before us. I’m not voting for anything until then unless it’s FAR above what they currently make.

Has anyone thats been at either company (Spirit/frontier) start off as a 135 pilot? or are most people from the regionals?

I'm just starting out at a 135 now and didn't know if i should make the jump to the regionals or ride it out to build turbine time and then apply for NK/F9. People on the forums make me worried they don't accept any time other than 121 regional time.

If your goal is 121, go 121. You just won’t build time and experience fast enough even at a busy 135.

Goto a regional, fly yourbutt off. Start putting out apps to majors at about 500 121 SIC.

Apps need to be in as soon as the ink on the temporary ATP is dry. They’re interviewing and hiring people with less than 300 turbine.
