It must be something in the ULCC management water. Our buddy Nides just called us "second rate pilots" in a recurrent class. Thems is fightin' words.

 

Has anyone from Sun n Fun received a call?

 

Management is clearly just trying to lower our expectations and instill the idea that ULCC pilots should make less money. Setting a low bar for contract negotiations.

Nides has also said "we shouldn't expect Southwest pay"

They have their ideas, and we have ours.

 

Nides has been a serious tool since he was at Xjt years back. They guy has no idea what he is doing and absolutely hates pilots. Whatever we do at both airlines we cannot let them mold our expectations. Low cost it's the ticket price not the pilot pay.

Delta and southwest are about to top united and United will snap up to delta per their contract and then both AA and United are in negotiations again in just three short years. We at spirit and frontier need to go big and really big in these negotiations and settle for nothing less unless we need want to be bottom again in just a couple short years.

 

Hi Folks, got an interview invite from Frontier Airlines.

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!

 

If I recall correctly, I got an email within a couple days that contained the specifics regarding the where and when and what I'd need for the interview.

The interview itself is a panel interview with tell me about a time style questions, one or two technical questions and some get to know you questions. There is no sim, but there is a scenario based portion in front of a paper tiger. You'll be given a scenario to begin with, and will act as the Captain and you have a short time (I think it's 7 minutes) with which to work. You don't have to solve the problem, but make sure you're using CRM and keeping the operation safe at all times.

In between each portion you'll wait in a break room with the other applicants. During this time there will be Frontier people with you, usually pilots, whom you will have the opportunity to talk to and ask questions of so make use of your time! Also, prior to each portion you're escorted by a Frontier employee, usually a pilot, who will ask basic questions, go over your resume, etc. Overall it can be a long day if you have a larger interview group but it is a good opportunity to let them get to know you and for you to do the same.

I'd highly recommend an interview prep service. Centerline, Emerald Coast, etc. There are gouges out there that serve as a good reference but the questions and the scenarios change so don't use them as your sole source of preparation. Congrats on the interview and good luck!

 

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.

 

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
