Well, Denver is just so much bigger. Yeah, a lot of new hires do get Denver out of training but as far as getting to a relief line, hard line, good line and upgrade I believe the other bases will be quicker than Denver.

Been reading your posts the last few days. Until recently, I have been laser focused on going to SWA, but the more I learn and the more I hear, and especially because I live near Denver, you guys are looking pretty good. About me: Old dude, final career, all four kids out of the house.. recently upgraded after one year as an FO at a regional flying the 175. Sitting on about 3500 total, 1300 total Turbine, of which 200 is PIC. No blemishes along the way, college degree, etc. My questions are:

1. Training. I understand the ground portion is now CBT from home. After that, when in Sims or otherwise not at home, is Frontier paying for hotels yet?

2. Once on the line, where are new FOs going? How long on Reserve? About how long to hold Denver?

3. How much is premium pay? I usually fly 95-100 hours a month, and will continue to do so if Frontier will allow.

4. Pros and Cons when compared with SWA.

5. Why did YOU go to Frontier?

Thank you for those who respond. I sincerely appreciate you.

While we do a good amount of flying out of RDU, the problem is that we already have 2 east coast bases. That may prevent them from doing a 3rd east coast base, but who knows.

A while ago Biffle said that in a perfect world, they would have 2 bases (North/south) in each time zone. So to answer your question, not a clue
