So that kind of shows the desperation but as i said that was over the summer when they were not picky on the 500 PIC time and wanted people who would come and not go and cannot get hired anywhere else.

We hire about 50% some times less of the highly qualified pilots we interview, I don't see any desperation in that!

Whats the reason for that such a low hire rate? Are the guys performing poorly in the interview or are they doing that crap that VX did or still does by bringing in 10-12 guys with the intention of only hiring 2-3?

I'm sure there are people that do poorly and don't get the job, but my guess is the majority of people are thinking of Frontier as a stepping stone and the interviewers can see that. They want people who will stick around, pretty much that simple. That's why the low hire rate, in my opinion.
