Frontier Airlines.

The entire airline industry is not exactly at its strongest, but when three airlines are right in the middle of merging, you wouldn't think it would be the best time to give the company the 'Undercover Boss' treatment on national TV. Frontier Airlines Chairman, President and CEO Bryan Bedford decided to try it, however, even daring to speak with employees about their mandatory pay cuts.He explained to AOL Jobs that the 6-10 percent pay cuts were part of the bankruptcy proceedings and were imposed by the previous management, before his team came on board. Union workers will have that money returned to them, but the unrepresented workers are not so fortunate. "Of course they want their money back," Bedford said in a recent AOL interview. "But I was impressed with their awareness of what's important. If getting that money back puts their jobs at risk, they don't want it."
"It was a big risk to film during the transition," Bedford continued, speaking of the merge between Frontier, Midwest and Republic. "That's probably the worst time you can imagine to open your company up to cameras. But it's also the best time to show employees at their finest. I saw how hard they worked. They looked at this challenge like it was just another hill to take."
