yes there are a lot of choices with the hiring taking place. While I believe it’s incredibly stupid of the company to not pay for hotel in training, it should not be a consideration for whether or not to come to F9. If frontier is the place you want to be, for whatever reason, then that money spent is just an investment to what you want.

Even if it's not, the hotel bill is a really cheap A320 type rating.

I agree with this completely. I’m certainly not defending the company not providing lodging, but it doesn’t have to be the massive bankruptcy inducing burden that people make it out to be. I got in touch with people in my new hire class and 6 of us rented a house. It cost us each $350/month. Sure, it was $350 more than I would have liked to have spent, but it certainly didn’t break any of us. Because of the situation it was the most enjoyable, fun, and academically productive airline training experience I’ve ever had (and I have more than a few old uniforms hanging in my closet).

$350? that must’ve been a while back! You can’t find anything for less than $800 nowadays

$800 per person!? Good lord. I’ll retract my statement if that’s true.

I split a place 3 ways. I believe total was around $2500 for two months Each. I can assure you my 401k with the company 14% contribution and my 10% is already 28x more then what I spent on my housing! Short of 4 years. Yes, a worthy investment.

I’m not saying it isn’t worth it, I’m actually taking a hefty payout to come here, I wouldn’t do it otherwise

i wasn’t necessarily pinpointing you, it was just my two cents about the situation. We definitely need to fix the housing thing. I get doing a pay cut, I did as well. F9 may not be the best, but it’s not bad. I’m still happy to be here and I do believe better times are ahead. And welcome! You’re not making a bad decision
