The Frontier interview process is quite long and involved with multiple steps and many people involved in the process. Several of the interviewers are line pilots volunteering their time. The process works in such a way as to learn as much about a candidate (as can be done in a fairly lengthy day), including character, integrity, honesty, professional aptitude, technical ability, and desire to be a long term Frontier pilot.
But also, one of the biggest questions that is being asked on interview day is the question that the interviewer is asking himself or herself, "Is this person someone I would enjoy flying a 4-day trip with?"
Judging by the quality of the new hires coming online, I personally think our interview process is working very well.
I think you found the bottom line here.
In the short time I've been here I've had the opportunity to fly long legs with two pilots who volunteer in the interview process. I spoke at length with them about the process. It was fun to be able to compare the process from my perspective as a recent candidate, to that of the insider's point of view. After lengthy conversation with both pilots, I come away even more impressed with the dedication they have to a fair and productive process. It is clear they are doing the very BEST they can to get the right people here.
They deserve more than to get dragged through the mud by those who didn't get hired.
just my thoughts
