Frontier Pilots Respond to Company’s Financial Guidance

DENVER, Colo.—Capt. Michael Maynard, chair of the Frontier Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) Master Executive Council, issued the following statement today after Frontier Airlines released updated fourth-quarter guidance that shows improved revenue and operational performance, with adjusted pretax margins rising by 300 basis points and revenue per available seat mile increasing significantly compared to the previous year, further demonstrating Frontier’s financial health and growing profitability.

“For over a year, our pilots have been negotiating for pay and benefits that are on par with our peers at other U.S. carriers. Despite Frontier Airlines’ financial reports showing that it has the capacity to invest in its workforce, there has been no willingness to resolve these issues at the negotiating table.

“Frontier pilots have been instrumental in driving the airline’s growth and profitability. We remain at the bottom of the pay scale among other U.S. pilots flying the same aircraft, and we call on management to prioritize long-overdue improvements to address issues important to Frontier Airlines pilots, not just as a matter of fairness but as essential to ensuring Frontier’s continued success.”
