If I remember correctly, hard numbers are 2500 tt, 750 multi, 500 PIC, and 500 Turbine (jet or turboprop).

They are preferred mins according to their own website. Doubt they can afford not to make exceptions for qualified people. Especially if they have years in the right seat 121.

Preferred Minimums:
•2500 hours total time
•750 hours multi-engine fixed wing*¹
•500 hours pilot in command (PIC)*²
•500 hours jet/turbo-prop

Two questions..these may have been asked on here before but I didn't see the second one:
1) what is the junior base currently for
FOs?
2) have heard rumors of a possible PHL base in the near future....is this a real rumor going around and a real possibility?

Thanks

1) Denver. You'll get it out of training right now and it sees the most movement for FOs at the moment.

2) No substantial rumors right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see PHL become a domicile but not for a few years. Right now LAS is heavily rumored to be the next base. PHX/PHL are a distant second.

Thanks for the info. One last question is how long to get MCO? ORD? I would be a PHL commuter and those two are easier to get to than DEN. Thanks

As of 4/1 the junior FO in MCO shows a date of hire of December 2016. For ORD it's October 2016. No idea how long it'll take to hold a line, however.

I got hired at 2,510 TT and 103 TPIC with a 4-year. Spent a year and a half at the regionals when I was offered a job. Went to a job fair as well. I think you're pretty competitive with those numbers as long as Frontier is the place you want to be. After a lot of forethought, I turned down the offer. Not to say F9 isn't a great place to work. Great group of guys and gals. Good luck!

Easier to get to perhaps, but where ever you hold long call rsv or a relief line first may be better. Something to consider anyway. I have a friend who commutes from PA and holds relief in Den. Working out nice for him.

They can and do every month. They turn away around 3 to 1 depending on the day. I'm sure a lot of those guys don't prepare well, but believe me they're not desperate yet. I know from submitting LOR's to AR that they will not make an exception for the 500 PIC, not sure about the rest.
