So if you have an interview coming up, I'd highly recommend scheduling a prep course with Lori Clark. Probably the most helpful thing I did pre interview. And for those trying to land an interview, it may be worth while to do the same. It will be beneficial regardless where you interview. I mention her because she knows a lot about the process at frontier.

Second, it would be a good idea to start thinking about what frontier is looking for. They don't care if you have 10k hrs and ten types or if you just barely meet their minimums. You just have to be personable, easy to get along with, and somebody you wouldn't mind being around for five days.

But with that being said, it must appear that you put a good amount of effort into preparing for the interview, i.e. knowing the basic knowledge stuff and being able to answer airline type interview questions in an airline type interview format. Many of the people at frontier who will interview you have been doing this longer than a lot of us have been flying. They can tell pretty much right away how you prepared and how much you prepared. This is probably the SINGLE most important thing because you have to sell to them that you want to be there. They know they are the lowest paid A320 operator. They want to feel like you're not using the company only as a stepping stone. I promise you, they will ask why frontier and will you leave as soon as delta calls. And if they feel like you didn't put effort into preparing, there's no answer to that question that will bail you out.

And lastly, use your good judgement the day of. Common sense type stuff. Talk to everybody. Mention everyone you know at frontier. Try to get face time with all the people who showed up that day to interview you. And thank them for being there. Just be yourself, and be professional. Don't be the guy in the corner messing with his phone, talking about some other airline, wishing he knew what that little crosshair on the airport diagram meant.

The process is pretty straight forward. It's an airline interview, so by design it's going to be stressful. But if you prepare, you'll do fine.

Good luck to everybody. When I was in class the COO told us management wanted to hire 250 this year. But training says they can only do 200. So last I heard 200 is the plan for the year.
