News : After Job Cuts, Frontier Airlines Customer Complaints Soar

#contactcenterworld, @flyfrontier
Denver, CO, USA, April 10, 2015 -- Frontier Airlines, which outsourced about 140 call center jobs in its operations at General Mitchell International Airport earlier this year, amassed customer complaints at roughly seven times the average rate of the 13 largest U.S. carriers in February, the U.S. Department of Transportation reports.
Frontier’s CEO, David Siegel, called the numbers "profoundly disappointing" in an interview with Bloomberg, and attributed the high complaint rate to the fallout from the recent cost-cutting and outsourcing moves.
The airline, based in Denver, cut its overall company workforce by roughly 1,300 in cost-reduction moves announced in January.
