Not sure why they do that, maybe someone who has done interviews can chime in. I'm not a huge fan of the way F9 interviews. I spent 10 hours at the GO and maybe 20 minutes was actually in a formal interview setting. I'm all about being sociable but making 10 hours of small talk is pretty exhausting.

Could be any number of reasons. They ended up turning down folks that lived in Denver too. There was a pretty even mix of 121, 135, and 91 guys (captains and FOs) that didn't get the job. The entire day is an interview. Yes, you're in front of interviewers for maybe an hour total throughout the day (to include morning introductions) but they have Frontier pilots in the cafeteria sitting with you for a reason. They asked about where we were coming from, what bases we'd like, and discussed schedules and quality of life. Even if you're not in the panel interview or SBI, be social. If you sit there in the corner by yourself, it's probably not helping. Also keep your phone off. I'm certain that the pilots socializing with us had some sort of say in the hiring process. I was told that they have hired 75-100% of an interview group on several occasions.

Are there any current F9 guys that would be willing to share what the realistic earnings for year one would be?
Min guarantee at first year rates indicates about $35k. I am curious how accurate that is (assuming training included).

I take home around $2000/month on first year pay. That is with the traditional PPO health plan with spouse and 3 kids. Just Rollin' in that cheddar...

Your numbers are accurate. And don't forget to account for several months of buying your own accomodations/rental cars/Ubers etc that will eat into your low earnings that year. I grossed about 32k year one. About 6 months on reserve and a few months of relief lines. I never picked up OT and ultimately tried to avoid flying except for the last month (needed to buy Christmas presents). I've heard of guys getting off rsv quick and making 50-60k their first year. I think that's possible but you'd have to live in base and work a lot.

Also, is there any legitimate hope that you guys will get a new contract with better pay rates in 2017?
Thanks for all the replies.
