This is true. Plus, most likely going public will happen long before the new hires out number the people at Frontier before the hiring started. My hope is they see that equity in a big number. They have put up with what goes on at here for a long time, they deserve every penny.
From what I've been told, the firing is for people on line that are leaving. Plan accordingly.

As for firing pilots that give their 2 weeks notice, is that really true? Is it happening to everyone? I guess Colorado is an "at will" state. Don't you have to give your two weeks in order to get your vacation according to the employee handbook? Pretty petty if it's true.

Hey Zooo!! I always love your honest, well thought out observations. But lately you seem a bit down and a bit pessimistic! What's up?
There are some good things happening at Frontier. There will be lots of new hires for 2015 and the indefinite future. I just heard 190 - 240 new hires for the year 2015!
We survived so many years when there was not much good news.
I know there will be some challenges ahead of us with pay and contract issues, but without this new ownership team, we were toast.
Right now, I am cautiously optimistic about our future!

I agree, the purchase by Indigo and resulting NMB representation election (thank you again FAPA) was a new lease on life (although we still have a few litigants fighting the IMSL issue).
With that said I think we have a very hard road ahead of us with a fight at every turn of the road. Thankfully a majority of the pilot group is engaged and ready.

i think your advice about talking to everyone in the cafeteria was invaluable. i took that to heart. after the end of the day, someone actually made the comment to me about how outgoing i was compared to the rest of the group. good thing i didn't sit around all day doing crossword puzzles.
thinking back, there were a couple of guys that were pretty disconnected from the group. who knows how the interviews for them went, but unfortunately, they didn't get the good news at the end of the day.
i had lots of good things about myself lined up to talk about during the panel. either by not getting the chance or forgetting, i would say i probably delivered about half of it. turns out, that was enough.

Welcome aboard! Definitely on the front side of the hiring curve.
BTW, where's home? Curious to see if they're stacking towards folks east of the Mississippi......
