Initial training at Frontier was the most positive training experience I've had in my career. It's a good program administered by great people and instructors.
The program; well paced, informative, operationally based (meaning you don't have to know how to build the airplane, just fly it), a lot of sim time, and straight forward.
Great people; knowledgeable, great resources for information, and they have the attitude that if you are really trying, and struggling with something, they'll help get you through.
I've never gone through Spirit's initial training, but I understand it's much more of a 'sink or swim' ideology.
