Unfortunately the allure of F9 tripling in size, and an "imminent" 50% raise. Or whatever bs they are throwing at recruits.

My buddy interviewed at the headquarters this week and was told by the LAS base chief pilot who gave a briefing on the direction of the company that there is no longer a training contract! He also told me that the interview was only 1 hour long and he was out the door 2 hours after arriving. He was not selected. My interview was a full day. Has the process changed ??

Has anyone heard rumors of a Austin base opening?

Dude, we can’t even get LAS up and running without ruining the schedule build and QOL of pilots in existing bases. We are only gaining 6 (or 7 or 9 or whatever) planes this year. No new bases ANY time soon.

Yes, mostly started by commuters who live in Texas. It's the old self fulfilling prophecy.

I also heard a similar story about the new process. Apparently the SBI and panel are all done at the same time. It takes about an hour and then you are told immediately if you are selected or not.

Wow. So the pool is drying up and we decide to spend LESS time vetting candidates? Isn’t now the time you would want to be more thorough? Interviewers could arguably learn just as much or more from the “down time” between events as they can from the SBI and panel.

As Frontier pilots we are lucky that the company allows pilots to be involved at all. If they continue having a hard time filling classes they may just make it all HR who hires and take anyone who meets the minimums and is willing to come.

FYI, only 23 out of 90 in Chicago can bid a line without redeyes. Most redeye lines have a redeye in each pairing. Some pairings have back to back redeye. Now that's QOL.

Stay away from here.
