Hotels in Denver are pretty pricey in the summer ($100/ night) so a crash pad or renting a room is your best bet. You will also need transportation to and from the training center. There is a dirt lot behind the headquarters where you can park an RV or pitch a tent. There are plenty of rabbits if you're into hunting.
Run the numbers and decide if it works for you. You have the stress of being a new hire in training plus the financial strain, unless you are coming from a lower paying position.
Good luck.
It's an unkind burden that's put upon newhires, one that many have persevered through, but it doesn't make it right. I can't imagine that people will be willing to put up with it for too much longer given the widespread hiring to come. In my opinion, it's just one more reason to put Frontier on the bottom of a fairly long list. Options gents, if you're hirable here, you're hirable almost anywhere. Don't forget that and don't sell yourself short.
