It's been a little while but last I heard Spirit occasionally would ask a variant on this. It doesn't change your point (which is absolutely valid), but just thought I'd point that out.

Sooo

I would like some information. Or a perspective on a what would you do scenario. I received an invite for an interview with the animal. I think the place may have a good future, but this is the airline business right?

Currently at piedmont as a capt. Will flow in 3.5-4 yrs to AA. Stay and pray nothing changes or make a big gamble and jump in hopes of a west coast base soon and a contract that is industry standard

I am a west coast guy commuting to Phl

All opinions are welcome and encouraged

Hi there, im looking to apply with F9 but have 2 questions to see where i stand. I have about a little of 3k of TT, majority of it is 121 regionals consisting prop and jet. The only requirement i dont meet of F9 is the 500 PIC. I am 480ish to be exact. Is Frontier very hardcore on that PIC number and will not make any exception even for someone who is close as I am. And secondly, i have a few skeletons in my past with a few failures, 3 orals that i did not pass and had to be retrained for. I own up to my failures and can explain what happened, but would this be a deal breaker for me if i want to have a career with Frontier.

The minimums are the minimums... they won't interview you with 499.9 PIC... if you want the interview, find a friend with a 172 and fly around for a weekend... two failures they seem to be ok with... 3 you'll have some splainin' to do but they've definitely hired people with 3...

Until we get a contract, I can't understand why anybody who is already flying jets would actually come here.

Yes I signed it before ever showing up to class. The whole class had signed it before hand. What I was saying was, there was NO show up on day one and sign or your fired. Lol All of that was done well before hand, everyone knew exactly what they were signing before even showing up.
