Frontier Airlines Pregnancy, FAMLI & Breastfeeding Support

Frontier is defending against Freyer and Hodgkins lawsuits alleging discrimination against pregnant and breastfeeding flight attendants—Colorado-based crew should document every accommodation denial.

Priority issues to track

  • Forced unpaid leave for pregnant crew despite cleared-for-duty doctor notes.
  • Denial of breast-pump breaks or storage during pairings.
  • Management claiming Colorado FAMLI approvals void existing sick leave.

Immediate steps

  • Submit accommodation requests via both Frontier HR and AFA safety, keeping time-stamped copies.
  • Use the Colorado FAMLI portal to download benefit approval PDFs before traveling.
  • If pulled from service, demand the reason in writing and ask whether the status is paid or unpaid.

Documents to save

  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding accommodation emails and doctor certifications.
  • Paystubs showing unpaid status or removal from line.
  • FAMLI approval docs and any Frontier “denial” letters.
