So there is a September class? Usually classes start on 1st Monday of the month. So the 2nd?

So is this a one off type thing or more classes projected for October?

Is this fact? I was told by JA in HR two weeks ago that the next class is December 2nd.

I have applied. I am currently a CRJ-700 Captain out of ORD. I have 8,300+ hours, 5,800+ PIC (of which 2,300+ is CRJ7, B757, DC10) and a clean record.

I have been told by people outside of F9 they may pass on me thinking I will go to a legacy. Thoughts?

It seems to be that if someone highly qualified like yourself doesn’t get hired, it defaults to “well they thought I’d bolt to Delta”. Like the previous poster said, Frontier doesn’t operate that way. If you can provide good reasons you want to work here and interview well, it doesn’t matter your total time.
