I'm currently work for the holdings company that used to own frontier.
I have been applying for about a year now and nothing. I just reapplied two weeks ago with the newer format and also had a college buddy write me a letter of rec. he is a recent hire. Do they really hold a grudge against us that they won't even tempt to try and interview. Does the Eischen award hold that much weight because IMO its worthless anyway.
I don't think this is being held against you or anyone else in your situation. The powers that be realize that the pilot group at the holding company are good for the most part. If anything, I would imagine that you would be asked if you would resign your seniority before coming on board (pretty standard question everywhere).
What really seems to make the difference for getting an interview is internal recommendation. If you know anyone else at F9 (preferably not on probation), have them contact JP or SM. Good luck!
