The word from last week's ground school is: New domicile will be announced in June and open in the fall. Possibly Orlando, but for sure east coast and somewhere it doesn't snow. They are planning on getting a total of 19 321s. 1200 pilots by the end of 2016.

When does Frontier pay start

Can someone who works for Frontier confirm the start of your employment at Frontier begins when you show up on the property for Ground school? I understand Frontier makes you pay for your lodging during training, but when do you receive your pay as a regular employee.

Thanks

Question for guys who've been to a job fair. What can I expect when meeting with Frontier? What is the process? I'm new at this and plan on attending one next week.

It's ridiculous, but you're essentially throwing the dice that their grand growth plan not only happens, but is successful AND the pay tables/retirement benefits greatly improve. Welcome to the Frontier career roulette table! Pull up a chair and double down! Actually that would be a pretty great idea for the job fairs.

Pretty casual and relaxed when I went. Tell me about yourself, why Frontier, what do you do in your free time, where all have you applied? No tricks, just getting to know you. Felt more like a normal conversation with someone I just met rather than an interview. They were offering interview invites at WAI. Good luck!
