Maybe not Frontier, though, I'll have to ask.

I'll ask our instructor pilot what the deal is with that.
I've gotten 50 hours + in a week before as a 1900 F/O with Frontier. We fly Fairbanks-Anchorage round trip 2-3 times a day (sometimes more).

Realize that we are not affiliated with Frontier Airlines. This is Frontier Flying Service. Tidbit: since we're older our official callsign is Frontier. Frontier Airlines is Frontier Air or some such, although they use Frontier as well anyway since Anchorage is the only place we both go.

Here's our website: www.frontierflying.com (it's down for New Year's day). There is a route map availible there as well.

Frontier Flying Service's callsign is "Frontier-Air." The Denver Frontier is "Frontier-Flight" The controllers up here just don't use the whole callsign nor force the issue.

Though, I have heard some ANC Approach controllers use the full callsign, which makes sense because its the only place both Frontiers fly.

Two ways, you know someone or show up at the front door at the right moment in time. Its a right place, right time, right person, type of company.

if you want a job in alaska check out Alaska Central Express www.aceaircargo.com flying 1900 cargo. you'll build time fast. it's the step child of alaska flying jobs but you'll get over 100hrs of Twin Turbine a month. possibly upgrade in a year. Wayne Carter is the CP.

Default time requirements

Maybe its just me but it seems that these alaskan companies want a bit of time before you can start working for them.

IIRC, the Frontier-Air / Frontier-Flight thing came about after the big Frontier started going to ANC (found out some more info since I posted last). Still could be confusing since we don't have Airlines in our name and officially it includes Air and Airlines doesn't have flight but it's in their callsign. I've yet to be called anything other than "Frontier xxx" anywhere in the state. This includes Anchorage when both of us are in the air at the same time. System wide both companies just use "Frontier" as SOP.

As mentioned previously, right place and right time. Less time you have the more likely it is you'll stick around longer. They like hiring low time F/Os.

Right now the schedule just got cut by 250 hours so we can lose a few captains before they even need to think about hiring. Probobly be a hiring push right before the summer season starts.
