If you are going to point out all the interviewees from that era, might as well call out all our new LCA that ran to the company with their hands out when we were trying to get a deal.

Speaking of following ALPA instructions, about a year ago I had the opportunity to interview with Frontier. I think it was technically prior to the ALPA instruction to stay away. Either way, I wound up politely turning down the interview when I realized that I couldn't justify commuting to reserve for $39/hr. Now that there is a new contract and they opened a local base for me, think I'd have a problem getting another opportunity?

They want to hire over 300 pilots this year

A couple months ago i was offered an interview and politely turned it down.......asking if i could contact Frontier again once the time was right for me. The recruiter told me no problem and provided me with a number to call when I was ready to leave my current position.
Currently the Frontier pilot recruitment web page is showing about a three year upgrade to Captain. Is that even slightly realistic? What would you guys and gals say is a realistic upgrade time there?
I know its impossible to give a 100% accurate prediction.....too many moving targets and variables. But if things stayed on the current trajectory.....your best guess would be what?

All of the F9 upgrades are based on growth, all of the legacy upgrades are based on retirements. I personally would take age 65 over growth.

How far away from the airport can you sit short call reserve in Denver? Basically how long does it take to get from the parking lot to wherever you have to check in?
Also while Im asking that might as well ask, how long does a new hire have to sit short call in denver?
I realize the second question might have been answered somewhere but I'm pretty sure the first one hasn't.
Thanks in advance

Here's an example.
Shut car off at 12:05
Leave on bus at 12:10
Arrive at terminal A at 12:17
reliably at the gate by 12:27 for a 12:25 or 12:30 report time.

Last junior line went to a Den FO with 18 months seniority for Feb. There was some relief lines that went + or - a couple months but that’s what your looking at. I’m around 35% in Denver and with the last 42 upgrades I have moved up 3 spots. Most upgrades are from other bases.
