Default The Spirit of Frontier

Well, shall we? A review of the basics:



*Estimated immediate future upgrade award.


Pay rates appear to be about 35% below industry average, that is, a 35% increase would bring the combined rates from abysmal to mediocre.



* Frontier Year 2 FO $65 effective April, 2016.
**Frontier Year 3 FO $77 effective April, 2017.



Enlarged Route Map: http://static.cdn-seekingalpha.com/u...724_origin.jpg


Has anyone investigated whether or not there are 300+ distinct species of air, land, and sea creature to adorn the combined tails?

Wild speculation, gossip, hearsay, crew room declarations, recurrent rumors, and slander encouraged...

PS: Don't touch the corner lazboy chair in the DFW sleep room and we'll all get along just fine (I worked long and hard on that a$$ groove).

Awesome thread Dead - I wondered why you were asking those questions... lol. But you should have named it "The Frontier Spirit!"

Maybe I'm the contrarian, but I just don't see it. Not for another 4-6 years anyway. There's a lot of rumor out there, the pseudo-experts at Seeking Alpha not withstanding.

While I see further consolidation in the airline industry, I'm not altogether sure it will be in the ULCC ranks.

Why Spirit and Frontier? Spirit could very well marry up with a different airline.

Because I'm a pilot and it's all about memenememe, I am about 50 away from upgrade and plan on bypassing for a year-ish, I reaaaallllyyyy hope it doesn't happen before then.

I'd be happy after than and of course if we kept a NJ base

Wow - ballsy! A little bypass action. I like your style. We're gonna have some good convos on the transcons. I'll grab the paperwork, you get the walkaround

You're so adamant about it, you said it twice!! I think I'm about 75 from upgrade, can't get here soon enough!

Wait! That means commuting to LAS! Crap!

Bill Franke apparently doesn't feel the same way
