Hey everyone, looking to talk to a current F9 pilot. I have quite a bit of questions about Frontier as I have gotten a interview invite. My background, former regional/current ACMI guy.

Does anyone know how big the class is that started today? In the town hall last week Shawn said their goal was 40 new hires.

while that room may feel a little lonely; it’s numbers like these that bring the problem into sharp focus. Our management is very good a fixing ‘todays problem’ and I imagine our current hiring numbers are ringing alarm bells in HQ. It’s now obvious to all that this ‘once in a generation (or more) pilot market needs to be addressed, and the way to fix it in the immediate term is with money. The regionals proved it in 2015 (with signing bonus and doubled year one pay) Current crews benefit from Premium OT and we get back to being a rapidly growing carrier. It’s much cheaper than canceling flights, and the folks in charge fully understand that. enjoy the schoolhouse; you’ll be flying the bus in no time! |

If they are trying to run classes of 40 and only got 10 to show?.... Yikes! Regardless, welcome to Frontier! |
Attrition is outpacing hiring. We are officially shrinking.

No one has a clue. You’ll hear completely opposing rumors from “credible” sources in the span of the same day. I guarantee that anything you hear is a complete guess.
