I also read the news clip saying Frontier wanted to hire 500 flight attendants for primarily the Chicago base. That sure seems excessive. Is the turnover rate really that high for new flight attendants?

My understanding is that frontier cannot get any more gates at ORD. They want them, but they can't be had. I'll just go ahead and start a rumor that we are going back to Midway....

I had heard the 321 is helping us get another gate or two due to its footprint. Me thinks there is possibly more growth coming soon to that base. Doesn't pass the sniff test that it is for attrition. But what the heck do I know.....

Has anybody heard any news on potential growth in ord? Just saw an interesting news article a day ago about an upcoming FA hiring event in ord (Dec). Frontier said they are looking for 500 more FAs primarily for that base..... Curious what is going on there and wondering if I'm missing something.
Wow! 500? Hopefully it means big things to come for ORD.

Well, if you were to have 5 flight attendants for every 2 pilots (which is conservative since we don't have an all A321 fleet), you'd have a demand for 200 pilots for their 500 new FAs. Maybe attrition is a factor but I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 100 total pilot vacancies in ORD this spring.

Hi, I have an interview scheduled 12/17. Very much looking forward to the opportunity! I'm wondering, how soon can a new hire expect to be scheduled for ground school? So, if all goes well, time from CJO to classroom?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

They tend to interview for the following month or two. I'd expect no later than a February class.

Did you attend any of the job fairs or have an inside letter?
