Annual Open Enrollment and the policies attached thereto are actually driven by federal law.

Just remember one of the main reasons regionals exist is so they can pay you less to have a cheap feed. Yes, some regional pilots are getting bonuses right now that make their first year year pay higher than F9's. Isn't it interesting though that it comes in form of bonuses instead of pay rates?
I flew with a lot of guys that turned down Legacy jobs because first year pay was.....yep 37 bucks an hour. This was no more than three years ago. They would now
be making north of 150 a hour, but are stuck making 90-100ish with less benefits and less retirement. Things change quick, Frontier is currently in negotiations will it be a fight? Yes. But, I like our chances. Will the pay get better? Yes. Will they pay for hotels during new hire training....most likely. Will hiring at the Legacies slow down? Who knows, but it's likely. When that happens what will happen to your regional? The whipsaw will never stop at the regional level. If you happen to be stuck at a regional that gets whipsawed, it's not pretty.
Just my humble opionion as ULCC FO.

Feel free to not apply to Frontier. I'll just point out how quickly things can change. I promise the day we get a new contract, people will be dying to get out of their regional job for Frontier. You can think big picture, and think beyond today. You will make way more money at Frontier in the long run than at your regional. Choice is yours.

Hell, go to Allegiant and get a $7000 bonus instead of a two year contract.

Just got the call for an interview... applied once last year and once this year... job fair last year so I doubt that helped at all. I haven't even updated my app in awhile. They said anticipate a Dec 5th class if successful, if not then January if it fills up. 2 year upgrades also... wink wink.

I can think of at least a few FOs that will jump at this (and they never signed a training contract).

I was thinking the same thing. $7000 would help pay for a move into one of Allegiant's bases. Then there is good (and fair) pay, being home every night, and quick seniority with a growing company.
