I don't yet meet mins but I found an email to recruiting on pilot career center.com it says not to email unless you can meet the mins. Any word on this? I would like to start making connections as soon as possible

Read the last 50-100 pages of this thread. It will take less than an hour, and the answer to this and many other questions will be found.

I recommend being informed first, then worrying about where you want to work, and making corresponding connections later. F9 worked for me, and may or may not for you. Better to find out before you are in class if this place is for you.

If you don't meet the minimums, what does that mean to you? When you do meet the minimums then apply! Pretty clear to me!
Listen to what Arty13 says, read the last 50-100 pages!

Default Bases/Parking

I am a new hire pilot with Frontier and planning to commute for the first year. Between ORD and MCO, which base is better for commuting as far as trips and flexibility are concerned? Also, if I defer a parking pass in base, will Frontier reimburse me for a parking pass at my hometown airport (up to a certain amount) instead? Thanks for the info.

1) Can't say I have experienced MCO, but in ORD most trips are at least commutable on one end, and many are on both. one benefit of all the red eyes we do is that it involves late starts and/or early finishes. Keep in mind that ORD reserve is currently about a year long.

2) No.

Welcome. I've heard commuting between ORD-DEN can be tough. Lots of senior F9 guys who live in DEN commute to ORD for the better schedules plus it's between two United hubs so there's that to contend with.

Frontier only provides parking for your base, period. Hopefully the new contract will get that changed to make it easier for the commuters.

Any chance you live close to MKE? Commuting outta MKE to either MCO or DEN is a snap. MKE has commuter parking passes available for $369/year and it's about a 55 minute drive from ORD to MKE. There's also a train between the two.

Thanks for the reply guys. I am actually a New Orleans guy. Currently corporate, former eagle. I am hoping for MCO, but after glancing at the ORD and MCO bid packet I am having second guesses as to what may be best. I was hoping that they had full red eye lines...for the commutable times, but it looks like the red eye sequence only happens once or twice in the month. Do they ever have lines that are only red eyes? Do they go senior? How long is reserve in MCO? I didn't realize ORD was a year. Sorry for playing 20 questions!

I used poor wording in my first post. I am not looking to commute between ORD and Denver. I was trying to figure out of those two bases, which was more commuter friendly. However, if RSV is shaping up to be a year in ORD, that may make the decision easier! Thanks for the welcome guys!
