Second, Frontier didn't used to pay for hotels because all we had was a Denver base and management wanted our pilots to live in Denver. That was back in '07. I believe the newhires from RAH and Midwest hired in (2010 I think) had their hotels paid for during training, so I would expect that would be the the case going forward.

Third, the hiring we are doing is due to growth. Currently the numbers are somewhere around 80 pilots through the end of next year, and possibly more due to attrition, and/or our investor increasing the hiring. Rest rules may play a part in this plan as well.

Frontier (F9) is a good place to work. We have many furloughed USAir, United, and American pilots that did not and will not go back. It is a good job, however there will probably be some changes when Indigo gets their hands on us.
