RAH gets Frontier flying

[B727FA]

Look at all the people chasing UFO's out there. Pull your heads out of your a**es guys.

Like the UAL folks in ORD? :nuts:

Yikes. You're not saying that FA's don't contribute to that "good ontime and completion performance" are you? And, if the FA's are senior (as would be a resonable guess on the FA side, too) you'll get the same 110% performance from them that the perform "out East."

Just becuase the FA's are paid 16K/year and treated like second-graders (as I saw posted elsewhere) doesn't mean that they ALL suck and aren't part of the overall RAH product that is growing.

Pilots aren't the only ones who "make it happen."

The Pilots-you get what you pay for! (Sounds sort of tacky, doesn't it?)

Incorrect, with a few exceptions, RAH FAs are terrible.

 

[Wheres the van?]

Having been commuting for a while now,I have to say there is not a whole lot of difference between our (RAH) galley hags and there galley hags,merely an observation on my behalf of coarse!

You had good -- now you get cheap

This is the motto of every bid RAH wins.

Shuttle America does a decent bit of mountain flying mostly on the Delta side of the house; when they headed out west the company gave them a photo-copied packet on mountain flying and said "don't break anything".

First of all - Compared to QX, or XJT the mountain flying done at Shuttle America is a joke.

Second of all - I would really want to put my family on one of your airplanes, since you have those photocopies and all.

ERJFO,

RAH has pilots with plenty of experience west of the Mississipi! Newsflash: Whilst Horizon has an extremely experienced and capable group of mountain flyers, so has SkyWest, so has ASA, XJT not so much. We know our limitations and I have yet to fly with a capt that pushes the envelope. Our new capts (145fo to 170ca) are a cautious bunch and not likely to say "watch this". Mountain flying is a learned art and we are gaining that knowledge daily.

You should spend your time reading up on 135 regs(for your new adventure), instead of playing "sore loser" on FI.

Well, except for the Continental bid where they were more expensive than some other bidders, and yet still won.

Mountain flying is not a "learned art." Mountain flying is operational and intellectual discipline.

 

[regionaltard]

Pretending you have some semblance to a big airline is living in denial and you'll always get dissappointed when reality slaps you up the side of your head.

That's pretty irognic coming from a Frontier pilot.

XJT not so much? You ever fly your 170 around Mexico at night in IMC in thunderstorms dealing with Mexican controllers? We do plenty of mountain flying down south. Nothing like being cleared for the VOR DME arch approach 50 miles out into Toluca with 9000ft mountains on all sides.

XJT does ALOT of Mountain Flying!! MEXICO is almost all mountain flying and it is very unforgiving flying. Flying in the mountains in the USA has nothing on Mexico.
