Hello guys/gals!
I am interested in working for Frontier.What do you think is the best way to land an interview invitation?
Please don't start shooting at me because I decided that. I am not new to the business and have done my math,but I also live in MCO with two little kids!Besides all places have pros and cons..
Any info is greatly appreciated!
All fly safe!

I'm sure you're quite proud of yourself for "going the extra mile" but when you actually get off probation and have spent a few years here, maybe you'll feel differently. Regardless, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself so much and believe our hotels to be acceptable. I'll recommend you spend some time reading and understanding your CBA. Get eff'd by scheduling a couple times, be pressured to extend numerous hours before the extension is needed, or fall victim to one of their other blatant violations of the contract, and I'm guessing if we were to honestly discuss this again in one year, your sentiments may have changed. It's likely to happen, just give it time.
To each his own....

All the BS you just mentioned above happens at every airline. You take the good with the bad, do the best you can and press on.
My sentiments won't change. Work for a few carriers with no contract then you get back to me.
We're starting a long drawn out process and fight for a new contract. Nothing more nothing less. Expect push back from this management team. The contract and everything that goes with it will come.
In the meantime I'll do my best for my pax on every flight I'm on, so when the contract BS is over they still want to fly on Frontier.
That got nothing to do with helping the company out.

Been here less than a year. Was hired during upgrades and expansion both of which have slowed this summer (typical during summer months). So my experience may not be reflective of someone hired today.
1) Based in ORD within six months, two months RSV and have been a line holder all summer averaging 17 off. One of the months I was on RSV I was only used two days...which was awesome since I live in base!
2) Haven't flown a redeye since first week of July. I'm pretty darn good at swapping trips in open time which have netted me more days off and no redeyes for August. Not bad for a Junior guy...so its possible.
3) Look, the hotels are fine. Not great. Not terrible. Everybody has different tastes. Whatever, I make it work. I guess I'm the "go to work and knock it out kinda guy." Productivity is more important to me than knocking back drinks and chasing skirt on an overnight. That being said, I've already had more than a few crazy overnights here!
And a few more things. The people are great to work with. The training was awesome and laid back. The Bus is great to fly. Pay will improve with the new contract and suddenly F9 will be the place to be. I have no complaints but I've worked hard all my life and came here with eyes wide open knowing that the short term is painful but the long term will be great. Also, F9 is growing rapidly and with that comes growing pains...that's typical to every business.
Hope that helps.

No not proud of myself, I take pride in what I do. Big difference.
