June 18, 2026

DENVER, Colo.—Yesterday, the Frontier pilot leadership, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), elected Capt. Bob Masse as the MEC chair to complete the term vacated in April and ending on March 31, 2027.

“As we continue our fight for a fair and equitable contract, it is more important than ever for all Frontier pilots to stand unified,” said Capt. Masse. “I am committed to working with our local representatives, committee chairs, and every Frontier pilot as we chart a path forward and achieve the contract that Frontier pilots have earned.”

Capt. Masse has been with Frontier Airlines since 2016 and is based in Cleveland, Ohio. He currently serves as the Merger Committee chair. Prior to joining Frontier, he was a pilot with Midway Airlines, an ALPA carrier, and flew business jets worldwide. He also served two terms as a trustee on his local school board, including being the liaison for union contract negotiations.

Founded in 1931, ALPA is the largest airline pilot union in the world and represents more than 80,000 pilots at 42 U.S. and Canadian airlines, including the more than 2,200 Frontier pilots. Visit ALPA.org or follow us on X @ALPAPilots.
