What the eff is purpose of that comment/post?? Hiring minimums and protocols change all the time based upon a multitude of factors. Regulation, supply, demand, mental capacity or lack thereof. A non-college grad that got on at Delta in the 80's certainly would not right now...but big deal. And how does one get "chicken****??"

Please elaborate. I'm not sure this qualifies as English.

I'm gonna design and sell a keyboard-interlock device that keeps you from drunk posting!

I'm not at all heart set on United, I see massive potential with frontier. I'd have rolled the dice if hired and went with it. Oh well.

Rick, that's what did me in too. My uncle was my CFI and mentor for much of my career. He's also a CA at American. I didn't want to lie or be deceptive, and don't regret that a bit. Also got the TBNT.

Is that accurate?

Frontier's website still has the job posted.

I went to the company website and the only positions posted are for rampers and aircraft appearance specialist.

Oops,
Found the posting on the company site.

Im not going to lie to people, if they are that worried about me leaving then thats their deal. I bet I would have stayed alot longer than some other guys they picked up that day, esp because my time is so low. In the right niche they had me for life, i thought they were that. oh well. good luck to everyone, its a really nice group of people, they will be growing east, it will either work or it wont, my money was on it would.

I agree! If I had to go through this process today I think I would not be hired. F9 can be picky right now, but I assure all of you that long term they probably can't with the pay we have right now. People will leave! Until we are paid industry standard we will be the "minors for the majors"!
Best of luck to all of you that have interviewed and others that are interested coming to F9. Truly, we have a great pilot group. Unfortunately, at this time moral is real bad.
