Interviewed in April. No call yet.
Did you happen to ask what the big July announcement was?

You got a call for an interview or a class date ? Or ?

On Frontier's Linkedin page they say the application window will open August 15th. They will start scheduling interviews again in Sept. Good luck to those that want Frontier.

I interviewed in February and signed an offer letter for the April class which was shrunk. I've been in the pool ever since. If I had to guess, he's working his way in order from first to last on the list of poolies. I did not ask about the announcement.

Just a general update about the confirmed December class.

Sounds like they are pulling candidates in order of oldest to newest interview dates with some exception for the Compass, Go-Jet, and TSA flows.

Also JA alluded to a new training footprint which has been rumored. Sounds like CBAT's for systems.

I was offered a spot in the December class, however they are not handing out offer letters yet. I was also told they would need to re-do my background and drug screening since it has been so long.

Talked to an HR guy before our flight last week. He said December is the next class and, I believe, he mentioned there was only 20 seats for that one. He said they’re using this time to run small batches through the new training format, which is just CBTs to shorten ground school to 1 week. There was supposed to be a class of 4 starting yesterday. Not sure if that happened or not.

He emphasized “contract efficiency” and pilots flying more, which allowed them to pause hiring. Anyway, sounds like they’re also making some big changes over at the training center, personnel and all.

I expected them to start full classes prior to December, but it sounds like there’s no plan for that right now. It looks as if they’ll hire and train people like they did early this year. Hopefully that lasts longer than 3.5 months this time.

For anyone that’s wondering. I interviewed in Mid March and yesterday they said to expect a February class.

They called you already? I guess they aren’t going in order of interview date. Weird. I haven’t gotten a call yet. Interviewed in February.

I did the math and the reading. If you followed any industry articles or investor reports NK has stated three times in the last six months that we will double the fleet in five years.

270+/- 5 in five years.

Do all of you have to be spoon fed?

Scott Haralson: Growing a company more than 200% in about six years with sights on doubling again over the next five is difficult and complex.

This is the third time this year NK has stated a fleet of 270-290 airframes in the next five years.

Spirit stock is really cheap right now. Might be a good buy
