Frontier Pilots, Is this true?

You mean like Norway?.....One of the richest countries in the world. Yes they pay high taxes but, income after taxes is still way above ours. Longer life spans. Less money spent on health care which is fully covered by the govt. Oh and they have plenty of gas but they tax it so much people don't wast it by driving SUVs or the likes and therefore are completely independent of needing middle east oil.

Meanwhile - we are all working ourselves to death, so we can fill our 16 mpg SUVs with gas. Meanwhile, the Saudis then take the profits and buy up the assets of our country. We are sending these oil rich countries over 2% of our GDP ever year. Only a matter of time till our debt and other problems catch up to us; great planning Mr. Bush!!! Whats Mcain's great answer: drill more. Nope that won't help either, our biggest oil reserve is located in our driveways!!!! Support a gas tax so we can decrease oils demand.

Then go live in Norway. Enjoy.

Not personal but there is some truth to what you say except if you have some time read a book by Ayn Rand called "Anthem". It is very short (60 pages). If u like it get "FOUNTAIN HEAD" and then read "ATLAS SHRUGGED".

Tell me what u think in a PM. I believe in a balance because too much capitalism breeds greed and too much socialism breeds communism.

BTW, those books are pretty good. They are fiction based on some truth.

I concur about Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I don't really believe in Rand's theories much, but her books are great and they make you think.

Also agree about needing a balance. You need personal incentive for capitalism, but you need to keep the greedy airline CEO's in check too

Norway gets all there money from oil rigs off their coast lines so they can do whatever they want. The Us economy is in shambles, wait a minute I thought we were talking about F9.

Holy Crap I can't believe what I am reading. Tax us more and that will answer all of our problems. When and where has the goverment ever been the answer. When has the gov't ever spent a dime efficiently. You honestly think giving the gov't more $$$$ and let them take over our health care fuel usage etc... is going to work. You obviously went to a liberal college and were taught by professors that never held a real job. They never worked in the free market system and think all things work according to theory. Communism does not work and socialism doesn't work either. They only produce stagnation and mediocre results.

And such talk so near the fourth of July shame on you.

Start with yourself. All should fall into place after that.

How about the police force and the fire department? They are socialism at work and most don't complain about them. Matter of fact, I think we would be fine with a few less cops. Hows that for shrinking government....

I think natural resources have more to do with their wealth than their government. We have a much larger country in terms of square miles and have a much larger population. They have to travel what....200 miles to cross their country. Not as much need for oil, yet they drill lots of oil per capita. Way to blame it on the president though...nice!

Dear Frontier Pilots,

One of my FOs told me a story from one of his F9 buddies that Frontier's financial health is so dire they have begun asking pilots to put hotel costs for company overnights on their own private credit cards in some instances and will be reimbursed later. The story was that hotels were no longer honoring the F9 contracts as they feared they would not get paid if they went Ch 9 (which would occur if they did go Ch 9).

Chase,

Did you forget to log-off? This is nothing but pure flame-bait, and I know you are a better man than that. You know better than to post this kind of garbage.
