I would not get discouraged by the TBNT letters. They announced that everyone who applied in 2014 would get one. Also be aware that any possible typo in the application process can automatically "trigger" one of these letters. For example, if you forget to check a simple block or answer a question like "are you 18 or older?"
Not sure if this is specific to Frontier's online app. But you get the idea.
I would reapply and go to the job fairs till they say yes or no in person. This seems to be the best route if your serious.

Two questions:
Read an article about Frontier (interview with management team) which noted the return to profitability and discussed that in some detail, but also went on to say that the management side has begun (and will continue to) return many of the concessions asked of the employee groups over the last few years. So is that actually the case, and what is first year pay actually like?
Along with that, what is the typical schedule of a Frontier pilot? Primarily out and backs or 2/3/4 days trips?
Thanks.

As far as trips we have everything from 1/2/3/4/5 day trips.

I just got off year one pay. I contributed 5% to my 401k, health insurance for myself only, no deductions for kids, had $60 a month taken out for my pretax parking account (I pay for parking where I commute from) and my checks were $954 and $1281 after taxes for the month give or take a few dollars. That was on reserve flying about 30 hours a month. It was brutal, not going to lie.

Thanks for the info. That's quite a brutal pay cut for the first year. Second year basically doubles it though?
Two more questions popped to mind. About how long to get off reserve and onto one of those 5-day trip lines? And while relatively unimportant to many I am wondering what the flying culture is like... Basically, does the other guy get nervous if you fly manually?

I fly most of the time with automation off. No one really cares as long as you can fly a stable approach and not scare the ever-living-**** out of everyone on board. You'll find a lot of CA fly with the automation at its lowest level.

The only time Frontier management will do anything to improve pay, working conditions, safety, QOL, is if it's federally mandated or required by a collective bargaining agreement.
Sorry folks, that's the cold hard truth. They will not spend a dime if they aren't required to.

Thanks, does that work out to it being possible to (with either 3, 4, or 5 day lines) block all your flying into the first or second half of a month to get blocks of 12-20 days off (more or less)?

You're biggest limitation is that you can never go below 70 hours credit for a month. With 117 you will most definitely exceed FDP limits with that kind of blocking.
