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.

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.

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.

Welcome aboard PulledBreaker. You'll find F9 a great place to work. First year pay sucks and labor relations are a bit strained right now, but you'll enjoy your day to day work. I know someone who runs a great place for training in DEN. Small, private rooms, and a paper tiger to play with. PM me if you're interested in the contact info.

It's a matter of principle. Putting a trainining contract is simply low and wrong. You want people to stay here, pay them accordingly.
