Start to checkride and the loft for my class was roughly 6-7 weeks. We had a few days off for the holidays in there as well.

Why just the other day as I was waiting 45 minutes for an airport area hotel shuttle a SWA guy came up and asked how we managed to always get to stay in 30 year old places with free breakfast. I told him, "Well sir, it's easy to grin when your ship comes in and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." A tear of sheer admiration came to his eye as he sunk his head low and got into his already waiting transportation service to a city center 5 star hotel.

Barley, that's the best thing I've read on these boards in a long time!! Well done sir, well done!!

Frontier Airlines planning IPO, report says - Philadelphia Business Journal

Here's some more news about the IPO. Anyone have any insight how long an IPO takes from when they hire these banks?

July / August ?

I think the ipo won't be until the fall at the earliest

Anyone familiar with Frontiers pilot recruiting open house? I applied a couple weeks ago and just got this email inviting me to attend. Is it like an aero crew solutions open house or is this Frontier specific and does it actually mean something. Looks like you can schedule one on one time for resume review but I believe I was to late to register. Thanks

My advice to him and you, after my conversation with recruiting, would be to consider going anyway if his schedule is open; afterall is seems to be a smaller event that costs him nothing (versus dropping $150 for a job fair registration). And in the meantime he could regularly check the weblink given to see if a slot opens up due to a cancellation. There also could be no-shows the day of the event. And lastly if you do get a slot don't be one of the no-shows, unless you want to make a bad impression.
