Good for those guys and gals willing to make the commitment but it sure isn't the place it used to be and the grass is greener when it comes down to it. Frontier management knows this and that's why they want to lock folks in and recoup their training costs and run folks at bottom pay before they bail.
Sure he's wrong. Frontier hires people they think are a good fit for the airline. Whether it's 50% interviewed, 90% or 20% hired they don't just fill a class.
Miami Air & Sun Country have a training contract. 3 years at Miami Air, for less pay and benefits also, similar size acft too.
What difference does a training contract make if a new hire has no intention of leaving? It cost nothing out of pocket.
