Nm disregard... It's been brought to my attention that it's next week.

Dunno if you signed up for the emails, or if they're in the same format as in Comply (I use FLICA) but the CPO sent them out - along with the entire pilot groups' email addresses! DOHHH!

Is there still an unofficial ban on rah pilots?

Considering how much money the company spent defending the numerous lawsuits and grievances filed by the IBT 357 and YX ALPA, I'd guess they may be reluctant to "cross-pollinate", and have another ticking time-bomb on the seniority list.

A few Midwest pilots were hired in 2009-10 with the agreement that they wouldn't exercise their integrated seniority list (SLI) seniority since the legality of the SLI hadn't been determined. As soon as they got off of probation they filed an ALPA backed dispute. The company (RAH management at the time) caved, and the ex-Midwest pilots bid under the SLI seniority for several months (not sure how long it actually was), and "upset" the legacy Frontier pilots a bit. The litigation surrounding that cost Frontier a ton of cash that didn't need to be spent. That mistake has been corrected by the courts and arbitrator, and they're back to bidding their DOH at Frontier. This is why we can't have nice things I suppose.

Frontier dropped pilots' email accounts last year, and discontinued the toll free customer service number in June (as have Spirit and Allegiant Frontier Airlines eliminates toll-free customer service calls - The Denver Post). We have to fight an expensive daily battle to enforce our contract when management tries to save cash by intentionally violating it. This Indigo management group isn't interested in making a move that has any chance of costing them an extra penny.

There was a brief time when a handful of RAH pilots resigned their positions at RAH, and were hired at DOH seniority by Frontier. They were welcomed to the property as all new-hires are. I've been told some RAH pilots have been interviewed since, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to be hired.

Sorry, but its the plain truth of the matter.

Hey will now that Frontier is doing away with their toll free call-in number they have more money for the pilots. Nothing like waiting 45 minutes on hold and paying for the call. And yes, not everyone uses cell phones with free long distance. What an industry. What's next, charging for coats, watches, false teeth?

ULLI

Not everyone, just .0000001% dont have free long distance.

Not defending the excessive cost cutting, but toll free numbers are so 90s.

I let the kids come up to the cockpit, and let them turn on the seatbelt sign. Then I tell the parents that there's a $1 charge for that.

$3 for a picture with the FO. $5 with the captain. The "works" would be all the above for $8.
