Yes; their pilots now make about half what they used to, they lost their pension, and they labor under BK-style work rules.
And their costs are still the highest in the industry and they appear headed for another BK.
Pay cuts don't work.
If I understand correctly, after the BK filing, F9 pilots took a 14.5% paycut. This new, longer term agreement gives them back 4.5% of that now, and the rest comes back over time.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Sad. Never has a concessionary contract and give backs saved an airline and we are the only instrument management needs to screw us. Pitiful. I feel sorry for Frontier's pilots, but this not going to keep anyone employed any longer.
What was the voting numbers and participation rate...
Management never told pilots that the aprox. $10mil. annual savings from the pilots would "save" the airline or keep anyone employed any longer. Further, a single contract with any particular labor group is not a make or break issue in itself. Frontier Airlines sold several aircraft to raise cash. You could also say, no sale of one aircraft ever saved an airline or kept anyone employed any longer. All of these decisions to either raise cash or decrease cost are (theoretically) part of what they consider a successful business plan to exit bankruptcy. By the way, Any potential financier will be the ultimate judge of Frontier's plan. We as pilots need to discard this decades old, tired, over-used argument. Our industries' challenges mandate we move forward.
AirTran is a Major.Yeah Airtran needs ALPA because ALPA is really going to help a 1,500 pilot group vs the majors.
They all Suck!!
