Your buddy did not have 4 dui's... That might be the most ridiculous thing I've seen posted on here... Ever

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?

They are looking for people who see Frontiers potential and who are not going to jump ship. 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.

Here's something off topic, how does the airbus do with prescription sunglasses that are polarized? Im a new-hire and looking at getting some prescription Ray-Ban sunglasses. Anyone have experience with this particular brand in the bus? Currently waiting on OE so I haven't been able to test my normal sunglasses...

The old Bus with the CRT has no issues except the FMS, that's a LCD. I found that to be the biggest problem, seeing the FMS. On the brand new bus I can see all screens just fine. Of course you have the rainbow effect on the windows.

This was all I had heard they were planning on having in the November class. The sims are backed up with FOs that have to complete their type ratings by the end of the year.
