I have factual information that a recent resignation, 3 year-ish FO, (he sent a 2-week notice via email send by resigning pilot to ALL chiefs, as one often will fill-in while another is out) was met with a moderate email attempt by a Frontier Chief which asked the person resigning to reconsider but nonetheless of course "allowed" the guy to resign.
Dropped all trips, called in sick, also a possible commuter miss, his last final two weeks at Frontier.
Handled (pretty) professionally and the only downside is the resignee had to stalk Frontier to figure out how to turn in his ID and Ipad. He sent some "thank you" emails to the well liked training check airmen (Frank S, etc) and even sent a "thanks for the opportunity" email to R.R., who interviewed him years ago.
PRIA records sent from Frontier, to the new carrier, were clean as a whistle.
In big corporate America, employees resign, and if handled professionally by the employee, the employer will respond accordingly in most all cases.

clearly all flagrant ethics violations and not sanctioned by the contract or company in any manner. Let me search the contract where a "reason" has to be provided why you drop a trip or have a one-off sick call.
a senior Pilot manager never told him or whispered into his ear to drop trips during his "last two weeks here", no, that never happened, because you know the rest of the story don't you.
on the flip side, we don't have anyone with a full schedule packed with flights, and those dudes, never in company history, have ever resigned and dropped paper at 14.1 days have they. Same people never kept the first two weeks of their month with no flying or "light" flying, knowing they were "gone soon" and would never have to fly their final two weeks.
that helps the company doesn't it
my buddy drops his own trips, a few days later calls CS, hey I am sick (not my business if he is sick, I guess you can't get sick your last weeks with Frontier), then a week later tries to commute in for his final goddanm flight with the company and can't even make it.
commuter miss, boom
then spends like two weeks trying to turn in his Ipad and ID calling phones at HQ that nobody answer with robot voice mail prompts

What the hell are we talking about here? People leave Frontier, and both sides are professional about it I guess. Cool.
