I spent three weeks at ATP Jets in Dallas, TX with five other new hires:
- We completed at-home ground school ahead of time;
- Attended and finished the ATP/CTP in Dallas;
- Completed the one-week (ish) A320 Type course and got our ATP Certs with A320 Type (Airbus specific training, not Frontier);
- Finished with four days of Frontier (F9) familiarization and flows training
Next up: we will be starting normal ground class this month with all of this amazing insight and a good head start on our knowledge.
It was incredibly challenging, humbling, and life-changing at the same time. No hyperbole. However, had I known about the course what I know now, the six of us would've been a little less stressed during the process. I'd like to help by answering any questions you have.
If you have been hired through the Cadet Program, Military Transition, or other Frontier (F9) pathway...
Ask away!

Maybe wait until you have a class date first, but why the heck not?

However, I recommend you memorize whatever information they gave you ahead of class. Even if you have a couple months, once you have it down it’s easy to keep it fresh with a short weekly study session. Plus, being familiar with limitations and flows before you get there will free you up to study other subjects, and the less overwhelmed you are by the material, the better.

Getting ahead in the oral though…that’s what I found the most challenging.

Congratulations! Few questions:
-Is the hotel provided during this course?
-Are you receiving salary during this course? Or once you start INDOC with Frontier?
-You said you have 1 week ish A320 course which ends up with ATP checkride? Is it actually a checkride? How well are you prepared for that? One week doesn't seem to be a lot before your checkride... How many sim sessions is that?
Thanks!
