I have a (Take-a-number Spirit/Frontier) ticket to the ACS job fair in Chicago in two days but can no longer attend due to a scheduling conflict. I have a ticket available if anyone needs one. At the most I will sell for face value, make me an offer. I will not sell for more than face value, not looking to make a profit.

Would appreciate if somebody could answer some of my queries.

1) I got the call but did not get an email providing details, such as, the venue, time, documents to bring, app to fill out if required (already filled one out online) and travel and hotel info and such.
Since, the interview is 2 weeks from now when do I get the email & info from them and do they usually wait to send it?

2) What should I expect in the interview? Is there a written test, a sim check?!Are there any gouges online?

Any info would be appreciated!

Fly Safe y'all!
I interviewed in Feb & start class Monday (5/9). I used aviationinterviews.com and I recommend Angie Marshall at Cage Consulting. Everything you need to know to be successful is contained in those 2 resources. Spend the next 2 weeks preparing and you'll do fine.

Best of Luck to You!

He told our class that when he started out in the 70's he made $100/week flying freight in POS Lears and he would've been fired if he didn't shut one engine down for the descent, so we shouldn't complain. Then he made a crying face and wailed "whah whah".

This is the geriatric assclown we have to deal with?

According to my inflation calculator $100 in 1974 is worth about $575 today...So he is admitting that he made about the same or more than a new hire FO at F9

All this talk of F9/NK Pilots being lower or second tier is just a negotiating strategy, but I wonder how the flying public would respond to a little news article outlining how airline management believes their pilot group(s) are sub-standard and lacking in their ability to operate the aircraft safely from departure to destination? I'd bet the quick decline in ticket sales will spur a rapid "realignment" of managements opinions. Just a thought. I bet the Denver Post would love to run that story...

Agree'd (assclown).

It appears this may be a self disclosure the FAA might/should be interested in.
An Admission of operating a revenue aircraft (PIC or SIC) in an unsafe matter.
I'm not sure of the statue of limitations of an unsafe operation of an aircraft is; but maybe we should document these admissions?

The FAA or NMB, might be ineterested?

Frontier is one of my top choices but I'm not as familiar with it as I am others. What are the work schedules like, mostly 4 on 3 off? Are they any different than regionals or majors? What are the competitive minimums right now to get an interview? Thanks

I think that our minimums are the competitive minimums. I don't think they are looking for high time people.

We have a bunch of different reserve schedules, long, medium, and short call. And then you bid by what time of day you want to be on call. Anywhere from 4am to 5pm.

We have a mix of day turns up to 5 day trips. Lots of red eye flights.
