As far as CRM the Airlines wouldn't even have it if not for the Military since we developed it initially and the Airlines copied the military model. Sorry but having a crew of 5 in combat with one person getting a divorce and another with money problems and blah blah blah, means you have to know how to bring a crew together. Now off my soapbox, I really like working here so far, but I'm still new. Biggest thing be yourself, and have fun.
Well, not to burst your bubble, (and I'm not sure why the Frontier pilot thinks they are a better airline because they have few prior military), but even in the military we were taught that CRM was actually first implemented by UAL back after they crashed in Oregon while running out of gas fixing a gear bulb.
Pretty sure CRM was introduced at UAL back in the early 80's.
Sounds like you are referring to the military's use of human factors boards which hasn't reached airline use yet as far as I've been familiar with.
Hope you enjoy your career at Frontier, and maybe you can be the one to show the other Frontier pilots that it's OK to have prior military in your ranks.
