Wear pants. That's probably the best advice I have.

I had a regional guy ask for the JS wearing really sweet jean shorts...so, good advice.

And a pair of white new balance shoes?

The best prep for a meet the chiefs event is all the stuff your mom taught you at home about being kind and having a good attitude. They'll pick up on all that immediately. Spending some time in a jet helps too.

Bring your resume, prepare you answers in advance for standard questions like why Frontier? What kind of a pilot would you describe yourself as? What does being a professional pilot mean to you? What do you know about Frontier? Research the company. Know its history. Know who the president and CEO are. What is the company motto and what does it mean to you? This is your first interview. Prepare and practice for it.

We have a motto?!

I was hired at one of theses events and I highly recommend attending if you’re interested in Frontier.

Sign up with aviationinterviews.com and get the gouge. It’s only $20/month and you’ll only need to review it a few times. It’s basically the cliff notes for questions they like to ask. It’s a 90% solution to get you going. The chief pilots even joked about how good the gouge was.

Bring several copies of your resume and make sure your application is updated on airline apps. Don’t spend too much time researching the company. They’ll give you a long brief about the company and where it’s heading to kick off the event. However, know where the bases are and most importantly, have a convincing response to “why Frontier?”

From my perspective the two biggest things they’re looking for are (1) do you want to stay with Frontier for the remainder of your career and (2) would they want to fly with you (personable and trainable).

It doesn’t hurt to email HR and let them know you’re attending. Assuming they be hiring at this event, they used to email the hiring paperwork ahead of time to streamline the process if hired.

Treat it like a formal interview, just like you would at any legacy carrier. That includes a professional resume, your appearance, your logbooks and summary sheet. Don’t show up wearing your current company’s uniform, even if you deadhead in that morning.

FWIW, because I'm also going to a MTC event, I have been told it's only a meet and greet to be invited to formally interview. I think bringing logbooks might be overkill over a resume summary of flight time, experience, etc. I've been told that time spent with the chiefs, you will be asked only a few questions covering what you've discussed. Why Frontier? What are your career goals? Why would you be a good fit? Etc. Nonetheless, I'm personally preparing for it like an interview, just not planning on bombarding them with stacks of logbooks as I know time spent with them will be fairly limited per individual. I also may not have a choice but to wear my current uniform because I start a 3-day immediately after the event. I don't see much harm in that as they understand we all have to go to work.
