I've heard two things: 20 more crews and 20%

Sure hope it's not 20% and to be honest, that seems too much. Denver still has a ton of flights so I can't imagine it'll shrink too much more

Does Frontier hire pilots that have been flying Corporate/ Part 135 ( SIC ) jet time ? Would they hire someone with less than the 500 hours of jet time that are required?

Doubtful. What does the word “required” mean? But as for having a 91/135 background, absolutely.

I was on their website and it says 500 hours of jet/turbo-prop is one of their requirements. My long term goal is to work for Frontier and I am trying to figure out if I could skip the regionals and take a corporate/ part 135 gig until I meet the minimum requirement hours and if so will I be a competitive applicant compare to the regional guys who are applying. Any information is helpful to make my decision. Thanks!

Personally, I壇 go the regional route. Just avoid Compass, TransStates, and Silver if Frontier is your end game because you値l be at the back of a long line that you won稚 be able to jump due to flow. If it were me I壇 go to a regional that had a flow to a legacy and keep that in your back pocket as you try to make it to Frontier.

you'll get to 500 much quicker at a regional. Seniority is everything and you値l give up at least 250 numbers per year it takes to get to 500. Most 135/91 don稚 fly nearly as much. Sub 500 annually and you値l get 8/900 per year at a regional. Just avoid the ones mentioned above. Personally I did the 135 thing and flew 200ish a year. Realized I was wasting time and went regional. At that rate you値l potentially give up close to 1000 seniority numbers.
