here are my thoughts: denver is definately an f9 base. i doubt it will ever go away entirely. even if you don't get it out of training, there is a mathematical certainty you will be able to hold it eventually as the company grows. is it so bad to commute for a year or so?
Guys hired a little over a year ago are holding lines in den. And have been for a while.

Correct. For roughly the last 6 months, March '14 hires have regularly been able to hold some fashion of a line in DEN.

I'm a July 14 hire... I have a relief line this month in den and a relief line next month in ord... I don't know who told you that info but there were 30 guys in the Jan 15 class and only a few got ord... They'll be hiring into den for a while... It may slow to a trickle but they need to backfill the upgrades going to ord

You probably have it backwards... The guys in den may have only been on RSV a month and the guys in Chicago are still on RSV... The guys hired last year who got Chicago are just getting off RSV in April

It was recent enough where the current hiring conditions of today applied when I was hired.
Not trying to be a jerk, just rather not pinpoint it down.

Soooo, are they only interviewing people who go to job fairs?

It would appear that way.

I have been told by pilots who conduct interviews that they prefer the face to face of a career fair as it is easier to judge if you will be a good fit versus what someone says on paper. I would say at this point that they are getting most of their candidates from job fairs. In short, unless you have a strong silver bullet or something else, if you want to come here you best get to a career fair.

Well, I applied a week ago and, within minutes, got a TBNT email. I guess Frontier is definitely considering PIC time. Unfortunately for us 8+ years FOs, not much we can do about it without paying serious dough and getting some PIC time. Good luck to all who are interviewing.
