Guess knocking Delta for their hiring practices didn’t work out well for you. Bummer.

[QUOTE=Stiflers Mom;2609319]Would they be able to do so if pilots stopped showing up to new hire class? 
[/QUOTE
Yes, some classes din’t get filled up and we are still in this scenario. We are all frustrated but saying that the solution lies with only new hires not showing up I think is not the right answer.
We are the last carrier with a subpar contract. All others got their contract while still hiring. We will get one too, hopefully NMB agrees to proffer.

Potential new hires, there is hope!
I'm staring down 3rd year pay in the distance, coming this winter. With a little bit of luck and per diem, I'm going to break the 70k threshold in 2019. It's going to be a wild Christmas around this fireplace!
At the end of three years, I'll have come a long way towards closing the gap from leaving my regional. My spreadsheet shows I'll only be Negative $14,400.00 behind in pay, and that even counts paying for my own hotel during training here. Not too shabby.
Yeah, I know, it'd take more years to bridge that gap if you're a regional captain, but what regional captains are looking at F9? As a regional FO, the gap is much easier to bridge and should only take 3-4 years to make up what you lost by leaving the right seat of your regional and coming to Frontier.

So let me get this straight, you're all proud of the fact that after almost three years you are "only14,000" negative in pay. You could've had an A320 type for around 10 grand, and probably been at UA, or DAL by now.if you would've gotten a 737 type you could've been at WN. Then you'd be ahead of the game.

If I’d have hired on at UAL, I’d be grossing over 149k at min guarantee with the 16% DC. Instead, I might break 70k with per diem at F9
Something for the regional peeps to think about. It is NOT temporary pain for long term gain at F9. It’ll take YEARS to get back to where you were, in the right seat at your regional. Even when/if we do get a contract, all signs are pointing to an industry-bottom contract. All airlines have their issues with customer service and so forth, but seriously, Indigo has turned what used to be a nice little airline into a profit-ONLY s-hole.
Don’t think you’re not going to regret coming to Frontier if you’ve got average standards and expectations for your career.
