Hold the phone, I'm desperately trying to follow the logic here. He's TOTD for working at a ULCC in the past, but you escape from the same status, how exactly? Are you past the cutoff? How long is that exactly, a year?

Went to a job fair enroute from Orlando. Told them no logbooks after a nice meet and greet. Explained I was just on my commute. No problem, understood. Called a few days later for an interview. Stated again, no logbook. Called me suspicious. I have an appointment in Artesia, NM for training and a security clearance. I’m obviously too suspicious for for an airbus with cute animals airbrushed on the tail and the FO who identifies as a CP. Nothing more to tell. I didn’t go to the interview. The original Frontier post jogged my toolbank memory. Were you the FO that called me and I called you Captain and you didn’t correct me? Call me back, I’ll call you a tool if you want.

From: B756 FO
What’s wrong with that? I went from one heap of trash regional to a “better heap of trash regional” to avoid furlough. It was my best option at the time to continue to pay my bills. While yes I wore my best $200 suit and had an apathetic smile on my face for that interview, after years of abuse and being treated like a liability vs an asset, it most certainly was a heap of trash airline. I believe our friend who once worked for Frontier has every right to his opinion of his previous employer that most likely at the time was the lesser of two evils.

Logbooks were overseas, as my base was. Didn’t and still don’t commute or travel with them. Stopped by a job fair enroute from MCO. The job fair was a pleasant surprise that I didn’t know was going on. Not lazy, I didn’t want to risk losing my logbooks. Situation fully disclosed prior to phone call. Thanks for the input. FO from CP office was a Tool. He probably has a koala painted on his Hyundai to match “his” A320.

Further, if you’re interested in a company, job fairs for that company aren’t a surprise. People that really want to work there know when and where these fairs take place and come prepared. If it was a surprise you obviously are indifferent about working there.

Whoever called me from Frontier who identified himself as “from the CP’s office”, and said I was suspicious as I didn’t have my logbooks with me while on commute from an overseas job. Thanks, but no thanks First Officer Toolbox. I’ll pass on the interview as I’m “suspicious”.

I think he was frustrated with the guy misrepresenting himself and calling him suspicious at the same time. Not so much the fact that he holds no respect for FO’s.
Why are people so quick to jump at each others throats in here? Some of you are about as vexatious as ex-spouses.
