Obviously I know you will still lose out on pay, but there are tons of reasons out there where a few thousand extra bucks lost may be worth it to someone. Getting married, just had a baby, sick family member, bucket list trip. If you can swing it financially then it's a great thing to be able to do. Life is short.

This is only offered for FOs and only one month. I don’t think a Frontier FO will make 50k in one month and since we will be over staffed there won’t be that many green slips. We are talking less than 5k here for the aforementioned example after taxes. Probably even less. You clearly value your money more than time vs I value the time with my littles more than my money. That’s okay. To each their own.

Don't be so hard on upper management. At the end of the day, F9 pax are prob vacationing in Europe again this year and the employees are lazy.

If you see the post I quoted, #140 by Flyguy, you can see they mention green slips. I was simply responding in a way they may understand at the widget.

I’ll never leave you Embry.

A letter from the training department to check airmen described the possibility of a small class in Sept. An internal letter from our VP of flight ops mentioned possibly extending COLAs to Oct. That’s all the info I have.

Gotcha, thanks for the reply! I had a friend actually talk to BL yesterday and he said they were gonna have a Sept class due to how many people they are losing to UA in the next few months. But who knows, I'll take it with a grain of salt. We have been told one thing one week, and the next it's completely different. Gotta just take it day by day lolll

I can say I have lost about 5 people behind me and infront of my (roughly ~60% company seniority) in the last week and a half. So that is the info I have, also apparently we will continue upgrades.

Nothing is for sure here until it is done, our management enjoys lying, leading people on, and outright not telling us employees anything having to do with our operation.
