Flight attendants said the flight changes will drastically impact wages, increase out-of-pocket costs and time spent at work without additional pay.The airline is moving its planes to do more out-and-back trips, instead of the typical model used by airlines involving trips of multiple days in different cities. By switching to this method, the goal would be to keep an aircraft at its base overnight, therefore increasing reliability by reducing disruptions to the public.
"What this does is have a significant negative impact on the flight attendant's ability to earn a living. It also affects our ability to commute to work, whether that be through air or public transportation or your own car," said Jennifer Sala, Frontier president of the Association of Flight Attendants."Traditionally, a flight attendant doesn't go to the airport every day. We live further out than a normal person's commute to work.
