those RW Denver based pilots represent probably 2 months worth of hiring at what had been the current rate. And crap even up until a few weeks ago we were still losing 30 a month.... so even if that gets cut by 60% and the understaffing we are getting close to fixing...... it will be some short term pain...especially for the DEN guys who have to come back east..... but I think it will be a few days to a week before we see how this all starts to flow out.

They already are....

All newhire classes were sent home. Upgrades are stopped, and the July 1st award is cancelled and those people are being returned to thier previous base/position. Then we will have an obviously large displacement bid/award.

Sad day guys. Good luck...What are the chances of finding new homes (a swap, like somebody posted?) for those airframes?

Were the newhires let go, or place in a sort of pool for the future? I have a friend who was in a newhire class and today was day #2 for her. She got sent home (along with the rest) and is now a bit unsure of her future.

I am just wondering if anyone knows if they are in a pool or just done?

Back in the pool

Geez... I didn't expect any of the 70+ seaters having issues with contracts but I am sure this is F9's issues leading to this and not a performance and/or cost issue on RAH's fault. I am curious how my bride and I will be effected since we are supposed to fly frontier to mexico on our honeymoon. We go MEM-DEN on Republic then connect to F9 to mexico.

The word around FSI STL was that they were given $960 per diem and told they will get preferential hiring. All new hire classes were not cancelled, only the one that started on Monday. The 2/28 and 3/25 classes are normal (except for the 3/25 RW class, which is now starting indoc for S5 tomorrow).

You might check into that...pretty sure the press release said MEM is losing Frontier service.

So if I understand this correctly, someone who started yesterday or Monday is on the street and someone who starts tomorrow still has a job? Huh? That sounds a bit odd. But it may be the way it is.
