You’re preaching to the choir. Last year, I was supposed to be in April class and I got a 1 week notice saying I wasn’t in it anymore because it was cut in half. I was told a May class... Then weeks prior I got another notice saying classes we deferred indefinitely. I then waited until September for a class date.

Management, marketing, crew planning are always evaluating what they need to do to run the operation efficiently. Whatever they decide gets passed on to recruiting. The staffing situation is unfortunately more volatile than ever. Trust me though, the hiring contacts you have will do everything in their power to be fair and upfront with you. JA was absolutely a saint in the process.

I was glad I waited, it was worth it in the end despite being so uncertain. Just do what you can to hold on and obviously stack the cards in your favor if something better than your current situation comes along.

Thanks for sounding off on this. Im glad I have decent seniority where I am just in case. Turbulent times for sure..

My friend in the March class told me they just suspended the April class by 1 month. Anyone else hear the same.

This is accurate. Straight from the training department.

When do you think they’re going to let all of us in the April class know? I already had to put my two weeks notice in which deferred my scheduled upgrade at my current company, would really be nice to see something official on this.

As much as this situation sucks, this is effecting the entire industry. United cancelled their March class last minute, everything is on hold. To mention how this affected your scheduled upgrade does not come across well. This effects everybody, not just you. I'm sure you'll be told as soon as the people responsible to let you know are told to.

Darn your upgrade... Let’s hope the bulk of us don’t get Furloughed.

I think we have a little ways to go, at least at frontier, until the wheels fall off... this is a bad situation, no doubt, but all we can do is show up and do our best... if they only pushed the class back a month and are still running upgrades, then we’re pretty far from people being on the street... it’s been mentioned on this message board 1000 times about how frontier is built to withstand a recession and other calamities... make money... save money... repeat... hopefully this all blows over in a couple months and everyone recovers and the industry returns to what it was just a month ago

Capacity reduction for May was bumped up considerably from original expectations. BB also posted our cash available... I wonder how long it’ll last us.

Now for some good news, fuel is cheap and getting cheaper by the day. Last time it was well over $4 per gallon with much higher burn rates in the non neo we had at the time. Other carriers are reducing capacity at similar rates. Last but not least it seems as though there’s a real plan to get back to normal as quickly as possible. That should help calm markets and society in general. Because before today it didn’t really seem to most people there was a plan. Myself included. Oh and last time we had 200 million and went through it in 5/6 months. If you want to know the plan just watch the unedited YouTube press conference. I found it surprising good.
