I wonder where the recent articles about Frontier "hiring 500 flight attendants in Chicago" fits in to this. I would love to see CHI grow; the 42 new routes announced included a number of additional Chicago ones. Hopefully using the L concourse gates more as common use will aid in our growth there.
I saw several flights in ATL. Glad to see we're getting some competitive fares.

I knew the FA turnover was high, but not that high. Any visibility on if it's movement to other airlines (for presumably better paying and/or better work rules), or "this job isn't for me!," or something else altogether?
I asked this question once before about pilot turnover, and, if that 70% is accurate, I'd say it's even more applicable here: at what point does it become cheaper for the company to pay more / establish better work rules / "make it a better place to work" than to deal with high turnover?? I just don't get it....

Holy Turnover, Batman!! Is that a verified number, or a WAG?

He acknowledged that this is a problem, but insisted that the solution was better screening of applicants and specifically said that more pay and better work rules was NOT in the cards for a solution.
Based on my personal experience, I believe the safety of our operation and the quality of our product are suffering as a result of the high turnover rate. Management won't care and won't lift a finger to fix the problem until it costs them more to lose them than to keep them. We're nowhere near that point, so don't expect a solution anytime soon.

Someone asked Mr. Baffle himself about the flight attendant turnover in my recurrent ground school last summer. He acknowled a very high turnover rate (thinking he said 50%, but can't remember for sure) within the first year.

Frontier does not pay for hotel during training. Pay is the minimum guarantee, roughly $36 times 75 hour per month. There are pilot crash pads around, don't know the cost. The CP office may help. I am sure others on line here can give suggestions. Good luck.

There are crashpads very near the GO that can be had for cheap. Just search for DEN crashpads. I think there are a few in the apartments near the Parking Spot off of Tower rd.
Pay starts on day one at $37.57 and 75 hours guarantee. About $2700/ month
