Frontier Alaska
 

Anybody have any new info on these guys? I have an interview in a couple weeks, anyone out there have an interview gouge?

Frontier Flying Service?

Frontier Alaska is the name of the the combined Frontier Flying Service and Hageland Aviation. I flew for Hageland a few years back. A great experience, but nothing from then would help you now. Different employees, management, and now merged owner group.

I have a friend that went there. He started in Fairbanks on Jan 07th and left Jan 31. I don't think that the minus forty winters suited him. He did say he liked the company just not cut out for Alaska.

Yeah that's generally what I've been hearing, either you love it or you hate it up there. I'm willing to give it a shot. I've read some of the other Alaska threads on here but I was wondering if anyone had any new info or some kinda interview gouge.

Fontier has a base in ANC as well, so it could go either way

Aleutians are easy for everyone (Pen Air). Look at the Valdez app and missed (ERA). Slope work is hard and takes nads but the clouds don't have goats. Frontier runs a great operation but we all have different challeges here.

I flew for Hageland and Frontier. You will be based in Fairbanks as Anchorage is relatively senior. Lots of flying, over 100 hours a month easily, my pr was 160 and change. You will fly all over the state sans the Aleutians and southeastern.

Go for it, you won't regret it. And besides sliding a 1900 down an icy runway with a wicked crosswind using power to maintain centerline is something everyone should experience.:D

Sounds like a nice experience up there. What are the min requirements to get hire there??

Depends on the airline, I'm not entirely sure that Frontier has any minimums, none are published on the website. I have 565/66 and got an interview. PenAir requires 700TT for the 121 side, Commercial Multi for the right seat of a Caravan in the bush. I'm also not sure what their hiring projections are for the rest of the year, I'm assuming they'll have a class date scheduled soon as they are still interviewing.
