I understand that new hire classes are on hold until September. Just wondering of they're still interviewing in the meantime.

It has been very quiet here. I would guess they would interview mid July for a Sept class but I think they have a pool from before so...

The September class is supposedly going to be pretty small and there are people already in the September class... probably no upgrades until the end of the year is what I heard... who knows

I could swear we were running an August class, not sure where I heard that though.

I heard the September class was supposed to be large so who knows what's really going to happen.

Really curious as to why Frontier is not hiring year round for all the a/c that are supposed to be delivered? Has the delivery schedule changed. Spirit continues to hire like mad but Frontier is not. Thoughts?

We've only picked up a few additional airplanes, as older 319s are being returned. I'm sure hiring will be back this fall. Nothing seems out of place, or suspicious

We ordered 80 320neos. We refused delivery of one due to a hydraulic issue at the factory, so a total of 79 should be coming. Scheduled deliveries until 2021. We have already taken 10 or 11 neos. All 19 of our 321s are already on property.

The fleet is supposed to grow to 120 airplanes in 2021, up from 65ish today.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember the CP in ground school saying that refusing the one NEO for the hydraulic issue would not affect our total count. It was sold to someone else and F9 will be getting a different aircraft to fulfill that order.
