they all are, except for SkyWay...hahaha...they're like a handicap sperm cell in a uterus (that is aviation), don't know how it got there and sure as heck don't know where its going.

before every YXer jumps on me, i've been there and for a year I was known as the Plug (dead last on the list). Stupid lottery seniority system!

on a happier note: GO DOJET!

The first 170 was either out of paint this past week or due out the end of this week. That is what I was told but I have yet to see one.
 
From what I know, the first 3 or 4 Frontier aircraft will be from the Shuttle side (put on the Rep cert.) and painted or left in the white fuselage and blue tail "spare" UAL/DAL configuration. Then the remaining aircraft will come from the production line in "Frontier" colors. Just what I know/was told/read in some company update - I think.

Are they going to have TVs in them?

No we won't because we are a crappy airline/company and you all do it better than everyone else. Besides we are now trained to tell pax to "sit down and shut up" before every flight - so there will be no talking and no TVs.
 
The inflight entertainment system will consist of a pimply-faced kid named Skippy whistling the theme song from Top Gun and saluting the pax as he leaves the flight deck to take a whizz.
 
In asia they have scavenger hunts on the airplane. You have not flown until you have had the flight crew ask if anyone has a picture of their Rooster and ten men straight from the cock fights start screaming like children. Now that is in flight entertainment..... Republic should give it a try.
 
the pics on the tail are going to be a gold fish in a bag, a hampster on a wheel, and a three leg dog. for the first 3 a/c. bedford is taking apps for future animals.

Haha! That is funny but unfortunately true. Our FA group is composed of the 3 G's if you can guess what those stand for.

Actually, in our last CBA we added a 4th G.

We have Gay, Ghetto, Gargantuan and Grandma. Any 2 makes you a Check FA, 3 gives you a Mgt Fast-track and all 4 establishes you as a full board member.
:laugh:
 
Denver went very Senior for Capts because it went to the guys that got screwed over to Shuttle. Our senior Capts that live in PIT, bidding to go to Denver in order to get back to the East Coast. The most Senior Capt in DEN has a March 1990 hire date and the most junior June of 03.
FO's.... Most Senior Sept 04 and most junior are new hires 12/27/2006.

Looks like there will end up being about 50-60 Capts and FO's in DEN when its all said and done.

My money's on there being more than that now that it would appear Frontier management is going to be doing the reach-around play on the F9 pilots. I think "when its all said and done" you will see at least as many RJ's as Airbi in and out of Denver.

I would also think more than 50-60 pilots as there will be what, 17 airframes. STL has that many aircraft and has traditionally held approximately 70 captains, give or take, and around that many fo's.

This industry is such a joke :)

Really? I have it from good sources that they are still deciding between a Possum and a Skunk for the first one, to be followed up with a couple of nice roadkills..
