Are the Frontier pilots happy?

Not worth the electrons...

you and most of your IBT brothers would be more than willing to fly the airbus for less pay.

Very hatefull statement and far away from the truth!!

:uzi: this management masterpice will never hapend. We can't let this hapend...

 

[Little Mojito]

There is nothing hateful about that statement. Your FOs are flying 99-seat airplanes for $35,000 a year and your CAPTs are just better than twice that. There is nothing hateful in pointing out the truth. There is nothing here far from the truth. IT IS THE TRUTH!

"Jack" LOL...need I say more

I recently witnessed 4-5 RAH pilots in a confab creaming their tenders over their new seniority 'rights'. I would've joined in, but am still working on my 'six-shooter, double-finger snap "Gotcha!" move for the ladies.
I have begun to wear my sunglasses in the terminal so I fit in a little better, though.

I'm all for Bedford bashing, but lets maintain perspective....Of the 8 cities announced last February only one was scheduled to start with an Airbus, LGB. The rest were E190s out of the box. LGB was downgraded, (and soon to be cancelled) but at present PHF, BKG, MSN, and GRR have graduated to mainline. Not a bad performance for highly experimental routes. And after the SUX failure, exactly what equipment should FSD start with?

You probably flew at Great Lakes for a whole year and then walked onto an airbus!!!! Boy, you really paid your dues??? Why don't you go hit on some chicks once in a while instead of sitting on this board for hours and hours, you may actually get one someday? Oh wait, Probably not with your mad skills! Do a little research before you run your mouth, geek! Your'e giving the Good people at F9 a bad name!uke:

 

[Little Mojito]

Ghost,

If you think I flew at GL then you've missed my whole point. I wouldn't work for GL for the same reason I wouldn't work at RAH (by choice). But, given your career choices, you wouldn't have a clue about what I'm talking about. Obviously, the only one who needs to "do a little research" is you. I don't know who is spreading this "everyone at F9 worked at GL for a year then went to F9" rumor, but since you believe that, it's not surprising you also believe the BS that the IBT feeds you. "Do a little research" and you'll discover that the vast majority of F9 pilots DID NOT work at GL. Are there some who did work there for a year before coming to Frontier? I'm sure there are, but they are very, very few. You don't want to hear that, though, because it's easier to justify working at a s**ty regional when you convince yourself that "everybody" does it. The ugly truth is not everybody goes to work at a sh**ty regional--some CAN and DO get hired at regionals with decent work rules and pay. But, again, given your career choices, you would't have a clue about that. As far as me "hitting on chicks", well, I guess you've just proven my point even more. Most F9 pilots are mature MEN who have left such idiocies behind, along with their backpacks, spiked hair, and their constant need to brag about being a pilot.

Tell you what, Ghost, grow up a bit, stop being so naive, then come back and post something somewhat intelligent. And, for the record, what I post on this forum is strictly my opinion, and not that of the "Good people at F9", so how could I be giving anyone a bad name? Using your 5th grade logic, everyone at RAH is an idiot because your post is so idiotic. Doesn't make sense does it? Leave the "Good people of F9" out of this--if they have something to say, they will say it. They don't need me to be a spokesman for them. Got it?

Haha. I just realized that someone with 640 posts is telling me to spend less time on this forum. I had to edit my post to add this because that is classic (and not in a good way like two of my cars).
