Who knows.

With the 121 time required to upgrade non FAA PIC time doesn’t gain you anything other than experience. Seniority based upgrades aren’t going away.

Having pilots on a work visa is an advantage to employers that have turnover problems because they can’t jump ship to another airline… unless that airline takes over sponsorship which can be a pain.

Instructors

Speaking of training. Does Frontier use instructors who are line pilots also or is it mostly full timers? Also does anyone know what the instructor schedule and pay is like at F9? Thanks guys.

Most instructors are line pilots, but there are contract instructors too. All check airman are current or former Frontier Captains by contractual requirement. The schedule/pay is different depending on whether you’re a contract or line pilot instructor.

Bump this question. I’m also curious as I will be attending the MTC coming up.

Candidates for interview on the 10th will be largely selected from those who attend the MTC on the 9th.

New Hire

What’s up guys!

Just got the CJO last week and am excited to be joining F9! I heard that you can request to be put in an earlier class if someone drops, but I can’t for the life of me remember who I’m supposed to email to request this.

TIA

The vast majority of our instructors are line flying pilots but theres a few contract and retired guys.

I'd guess on average the instructors do two months in the sim and one month on the line if the training dept is busy like it is now
