I'd check out dia home awaySEMI-PRIVATE CRASH PAD AT DIA - Home and ask if they have a rate for staying there during training. I stayed there for 1 month on reserve and its a pretty nice crashpad, more private than others.

Silver, I'm sure you've done this already but is there anyone you know? Can you scour your contacts for someone who might fill out an internal recommendation for you? That and/or getting to a job fair seems to be the key to an interview.

I have no idea if dropping by Headquarters would be frowned upon. That's certainly the way they did it in the old days. Good luck - and please report back if you decide to try it.

Why don't you call Lori Clark who does a lot of F9 interview prep and see what she has to say.

Does Frontier not provide a hotel for new hires in initial?

I emailed her, and she doesn't rent to pilots in training. Only commuters.

No hotel while in training. You get paid 75 hour guarantee @ $37 an hour = $ 2775 Gross. So around $1200 every two weeks after taxes (if you're lucky) . Health insurance will start about a month after your start date. If you have a family - the health benefits can take a big bite of your check.

Hotels in Denver are pretty pricey in the summer ($100/ night) so a crash pad or renting a room is your best bet. You will also need transportation to and from the training center. There is a dirt lot behind the headquarters where you can park an RV or pitch a tent. There are plenty of rabbits if you're into hunting.

Run the numbers and decide if it works for you. You have the stress of being a new hire in training plus the financial strain, unless you are coming from a lower paying position.

Good luck.

It's an unkind burden that's put upon newhires, one that many have persevered through, but it doesn't make it right. I can't imagine that people will be willing to put up with it for too much longer given the widespread hiring to come. In my opinion, it's just one more reason to put Frontier on the bottom of a fairly long list. Options gents, if you're hirable here, you're hirable almost anywhere. Don't forget that and don't sell yourself short.

It might not help but certainly won't be frowned upon. Anything you can do to show sincere interest in a position will help. They are looking for guys that they would trust in the left seat in 2-3 years. Be honest and show genuine interest in the future of frontier. The guys doing the interviews aren't dummies they know there are better options right now in terms of compensation. It will help if you can express your interest in the long term success of frontier and avoid concern about the short term problems that very much exist.

Also I know that guys that re-interview after 6 months after a tbnt have about a 90% success rate. So if you don't get an offer ask for another shot in 6 months. Persistence pays off here.

The most important questions at interview will be. Why do you want to work at Frontier? and, What other airlines do you have applications in with? Those 2 questions will most likely determine the outcome.

I went through training not too long ago and stayed at an AirBnB. The guy's name was Scott. He has a house just south of 57th Ave off of Tower road in Green Valley. He doesn't provide transportation so you'll have to bring your car. He does have private rooms and semi-private. I stayed there w/ 2 other guys from my class and had a great time. There's even a loft area with F9 A320 mock cockpit posters for studying.

Go to the AirBnB app, look for Nancy, Vanilla Bean and Jewell.

Cost can be a little as around $400 a month I think...
