Frontier is hiring full speed ahead. We have a lot of planes on order and really start growing quickly in the second half of the year. Currently, new hires can quickly get any of the 3 bases. For the last few months, I think everyone has gotten the base they wanted within the first vacancy after getting their initial domicile award in training. You might have to commute for a month or 2 and then you should be able to hold any domicile.
Lots of speculation that we will open a western domicile within a year. Most people think it'll be Vegas.
Upgrades are running pretty quick, about 2 to 2.5 years. Orlando and Chicago are both fairly equally junior for captain, and Denver captain can be had in about the day you turn 65.
