Has much changed at Frontier?

[airludy]

Has much changed since Republic bought Frontier? Are the crews still happy?

How would you feel if the airline you worked for was bought by a regional? Having worked at republic, I'm guessing my friends at Frontier are less than happy!

Do you still have your own crew schedulers and dispatch or has it all moved to the bright center of the universe?

 

[ABC123]

Own crew scheduling and Dispatchers, but 90% of the Dispatchers are new hires and the SOC Shift Managers are all former CHQ Dispatchers

 

[airludy]

Oh I bet those dispatchers are steller...

There's a few kinks as various functions move towards Indy, but day-to-day life on the line hasn't changed discernably. Still great people, and a pretty good environment within the cozy confines of our contract. Not a great time to be unrepresented, however. "Jesus gonna f you in the a"

And if you were a Lynx guy or girl outside of the 4th class..... You are hosed...

Thanks Republic...

Care to explain that? Not sure I am familiar with those details... Is a certain group guaranteed Republic jobs and everyone else not?

There will be approx. 40 Lynx pilots held on to until September, at which point Bedford will shut down the operation altogether. Lynx pilots were offered pilot positions at Republic, but I'm guessing few to none will take them.

No offense to you as I don't know you personally and you maybe a stellar individual in your community and company. How can you expect a profession such as ours to be taken serious by outsiders, that roam these public boards all the time, when there are many like you that have drinking screen names and things such as "I bang the chick below" and "drilling the chick above" in your profile?

Try looking at a board for doctors or many other professions and see if they are acting like college frat kids with their screen names and profiles. The general public probably doesn't get a "warm fuzzy" about the professional pilot community in general when they see screen names and profiles like yours. These are the things they remember, not your explanation of the subject.

It's a free world and I am only suggesting that we all try to be a bit more respectable when having something to due with our profession when in the public eye.
