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

Good God $2700 a month. Why would anyone go there for those wages? Plus you have to fork over for your own housing in training. Can we say the Mesa, or great Lakes of the LCC!

We are truly our own worst enemies by accepting jobs like this. Enjoy your food stamps.

Well, we are about to begin negotiations for a much needed new contract. We are running two years upgrades and there is a ton of growth coming giving you lots of seniority. That's probably why people are coming here.

Once frontier has an new contract, it'll be a great place to work

Is anyone getting called with no internals and no job fairs?

I don't work for F9 (but I hope to), but does everybody understand that F9 is currently operating on a bankruptcy contract that is amendable starting this year?
It wasn't to long ago that starting pay at AA was actually two dollars less than what F9's is now.
Frontier is laying the base for a solid future. I believe good things are to come.

You do understand what a training contract is right? You don't have to pay it... Unless you leave

Yes, I got it..... it's not quite "pay for training" as took place in the 90's, but give them a bit, there still rediscovering the past.

You do understand that as long as the stack of resume's is more than a dozen deep, and pilots are willing to sign said training contracts, then the impetus to change F9's $2700/month/new hire training contract is really not there for mgmt. Especially if your model is to be an ULCC which means your #1 focus as a manager is COST.
