They appear to have at least competitive resumes based on what I've seen of F9 hiring lately. If accurate, it's an interesting policy and not a very friendly one when we all appreciate the privilege of occupying a jumpseat sometimes.
Do you know whether this is currently the case?

Some CA told me that Frontier was supposed to honor a Republic pilots seniority if/when hired... Sounded false, was just wondering if that were the case and the explanation for lack of RAH guys hired, or can I thank RAH management for that? In all honesty, every one of your pilots at F9 seem like great guys that I would love to work with.

Zoo. Perhaps I'm wrong but that seems to be a common perception at RAH. Specifically, RAH pilots hired at F9 AFTER the initial Eischen came out, not the few who interviewed before - Have there been any afterwards? I can think of a few RAH pilots with internal connections of one sort or another at F9 who have said they were specifically told the HR hiring process simply won't touch an RAH pilot and they shouldn't waste their time.
Sandrich, I don't think anyone at RAH suspects the SLI is worth more than toilet paper, but I'm not exactly in the know. I under the impression it's dead for all intents and purposes. Good luck regardless of where you're applying.

I can't speak to whether we're truly discriminating resumes with RAH employment listed, I'm not affiliated with the hiring process. If we are hiring RAH guys, they're seniority is the same as every other new hire. Period.

If someone at F9 can be quoted as saying otherwise they should be called out. I can think of two or three pilots at RAH that would have a short interview process, but I also know they don't want to be "hired" at F9 so it is a moot point. If you work for RAH and want to fly at F9 you should apply.

So I'm questioning whether they really have "the same opportunity as anyone else" or whether they actually have zero opportunity. Again, I do know we've had pilots apply and they're at least in the general ballpark of "qualified". Given that we seem to be hemorrhaging pilots to all majors and just about everyone in the world right now I would think we have got to have at least a single qualified candidate applying and in the vicinity of "hirable". Again, I could be wrong and perhaps F9's been hiring a few here and there.
