Can anyone tell me when I’m “competitive” I’m just about to get off of IOE at my regional and I have a 4 year degree. I don’t want to get shot down and have to wait 6 months to apply.
I heard 100-200 hours is competitive but I just wanted to know from what you guys are seeing

Fortunately we have a great spokesperson, SC, that says, “Wouldn’t you rather go to a bad place with good people than a good place with bad people?” Nice sales pitch, SC. And yes, he’s said that MULTIPLE times when asked why people should come to F9. Painful.

They need to demonstrate a desire to work at Frontier and know something about the company. It's almost impossible to tell if a candidate really wants to stay or not anyway and perhaps more importantly, some who plan on moving on may very well change their minds too so the old exercise was pretty futile anyway.

Hiring discussion:
Roughly 1900 pilots today. Planned 4200 by 2029. We've net 190 pilots so far this year but, will need to net 330 a year to achieve that 4200 goal by 2029.
What's the plan?

Use any means necessary to get people in seats. (Foreign pilots, pilot flow programs)
Plan b. Don’t grow as much as advertised.
Plan c. Sell the airline.
Plan d. After decades of struggles and 437 pilots left on property…a contract good enough to attract and keep pilots.

The wild thing is for those new hires who have chosen to stay since hiring restarted have moved up in seniority very very quickly. The most junior new hire from the 6/21 class is 76% overall seniority with 420ish beneath them. 53% on the FO seniority list.
