I sent a letter in for a buddy. We get one 'silver bullet' letter a year. Supposed to carry more weight than avg LOR. I'm trying to figure out best case scenerio interview time frame. Having said that, I heard the job fairs are a great way to go.
Good luck to all,

JR

So if you have an interview coming up, I'd highly recommend scheduling a prep course with Lori Clark. Probably the most helpful thing I did pre interview. And for those trying to land an interview, it may be worth while to do the same. It will be beneficial regardless where you interview. I mention her because she knows a lot about the process at frontier.

Second, it would be a good idea to start thinking about what frontier is looking for. They don't care if you have 10k hrs and ten types or if you just barely meet their minimums. You just have to be personable, easy to get along with, and somebody you wouldn't mind being around for five days.

But with that being said, it must appear that you put a good amount of effort into preparing for the interview, i.e. knowing the basic knowledge stuff and being able to answer airline type interview questions in an airline type interview format. Many of the people at frontier who will interview you have been doing this longer than a lot of us have been flying. They can tell pretty much right away how you prepared and how much you prepared. This is probably the SINGLE most important thing because you have to sell to them that you want to be there. They know they are the lowest paid A320 operator. They want to feel like you're not using the company only as a stepping stone. I promise you, they will ask why frontier and will you leave as soon as delta calls. And if they feel like you didn't put effort into preparing, there's no answer to that question that will bail you out.

And lastly, use your good judgement the day of. Common sense type stuff. Talk to everybody. Mention everyone you know at frontier. Try to get face time with all the people who showed up that day to interview you. And thank them for being there. Just be yourself, and be professional. Don't be the guy in the corner messing with his phone, talking about some other airline, wishing he knew what that little crosshair on the airport diagram meant.

The process is pretty straight forward. It's an airline interview, so by design it's going to be stressful. But if you prepare, you'll do fine.

Good luck to everybody. When I was in class the COO told us management wanted to hire 250 this year. But training says they can only do 200. So last I heard 200 is the plan for the year.
Thank you for the insight. I'll be in DEN tomorrow 3/10 for a 3/11 interview if anyone would like to meet up prior.

April 8th interview here, super excited for the chance! A year and a half of applying with no call, but the job fair was worth it's weight in gold. Be sure to update us on how tomorrow goes. And good luck!

I was wondering the same thing. Any solution to this?

I also have an interview the 8th and that's after attending the WAI conference without completely finishing the online application. Attending a Job Fair is key for sure!

i wouldn't worry about it if you already have an interview. i have heard of a few folks getting hired without ever filling out the online app.

Did anyone who was offered an interview at WAI asked the recruiters when one should expect to be in class if the interview goes well?

No degree.... Working on it.

I think it has been said before and I believe they are hiring personalities they think they can work with vs straight from quals.

In the company presentation the chief pilot said he felt confident they can get you through training, they just want to hire the right person.

I forgot to ask the expected class date but I heard from someone that just interviewed this week and got the conditional offer that maybe a May class for him but it's not definite. Sounds like the May class is filling up. I'm sure ya'll know there are classes every month and seems like they begin the first week.

p121 exp.
TT 3000
TPIC 1160/ 160(P121)
Currently working on my degree :/
