Pros

Mainline carrier. Much smaller than the big 3 legacy carriers, so gaining seniority is much quicker. Good “starter” airline, rather than starting at a regional.

Cons

Frontier is owned by an investment company, which is completely out of touch with the frontline. The company in recent years, concocted a “Culture of Caring” catchphrase they constantly use - when everything about their culture, in reality, demonstrates the complete opposite. They shifted their business model to out/back to save themselves money, on the backs of FA’s, resulting in significantly decreased pay and essentially changed it to a day job - without the day job pay for every hour on the clock.

Pros

It pays “some” of my bills.

Cons

I want to begin by expressing my disappointment with the union’s representation of its members. There is a significant lack of transparency and consistent communication, leaving many employees feeling uninformed and disconnected from the bargaining process. From my perspective, aircraft mechanics working under this contract are compensated well below the industry standard despite the critical role we play in maintaining safety and operational reliability. It often feels as though these concerns are not being adequately addressed or prioritized. Unfortunately, the current environment has made this airline feel more like a temporary stepping stone than a place where skilled mechanics can build long-term careers. Until meaningful improvements are made to compensation, communication, and representation, I believe retaining experienced technicians will continue to be a challenge.
