welcome. It’s a decent place to be, the last couple of weeks shenanigans aside.
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!

Ouch. Welcome to the zoo. Hopefully those numbers are short lived.

Seriously? You didn't hear anything about them trying to run 2 classes per month or anything like that did you?

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.

yup. Don’t bother with the rumors. You’ll find out when the CP is told to send us the memo..

I was once told by D.S. that the California employment laws were a pain and they didn't want to deal with them so it's highly unlikely to ever have a California base.

Untill they decide that it is worth it... but I certainly wouldn't count on a Cali base

If we can’t get more than 10 people in a new hire class the rumor should be which base is closing next, not which one will open.
