They have been doing that since they started hiring in 2013. In my opinion it's not good practice to turn so many people down. Especially since everyone is qualified. I don't think any other airline out there turns down roughly 50%

Hard to tell really. Every candidate I talked with was friendly, eager, and professional. I think it came down to preparation and nerves. If you let your nerves take over, it's an uphill battle.

Oh, and Lori Clark. Best money I have ever spent!

Maybe when they get to the question
"will you sign a 2 year contract of indentured servitude in the form of a training contract for this job"

And 50% say NO.

Your truly a shining bastion of optimism.

Airborne Express turned down way more, so did AA, DAL, and United during the same era. At the time Airborne Express was the highest paying airline per hour in the US and denied the most.
(Mid to late 90's)

Well he sure isn't wrong.

Who else is hiring that requires a training contract? Maybe a regional of two? Not many folks I know even if they are still an FO at a regional would be willing to sign a training contract to take a pay cut to fly a larger jet.

Good for those guys and gals willing to make the commitment but it sure isn't the place it used to be and the grass is greener when it comes down to it. Frontier management knows this and that's why they want to lock folks in and recoup their training costs and run folks at bottom pay before they bail.

Sure he's wrong. Frontier hires people they think are a good fit for the airline. Whether it's 50% interviewed, 90% or 20% hired they don't just fill a class.

Miami Air & Sun Country have a training contract. 3 years at Miami Air, for less pay and benefits also, similar size acft too.

What difference does a training contract make if a new hire has no intention of leaving? It cost nothing out of pocket.
