One thing to point out though is that we are hiring and filing classes thru the cadet programs. Purdue, ERAU, ATP, etc. That is giving Frontier a stream of pilots that Delta hasn't had to look at yet. And I did hear that class sizes are going to increase again in the future.
Another thing to note is that the cadet program is open to just about everyone now. You don't need to be attending a partnered school listed above. This information has slowly started to make its way around and I read there's over 2,000 applications for the cadet program now. This and the RTP program are innovative ways to keep the pilots coming and slow attrition.
