Please do not equate this person with the typical Spirit pilot.

I would maintain both companies are growing like mad, the decision comes down to who offers you a position first and where you are looking to be based.

Spirit is a publicly traded company, therefore things are a little more transparent. Frontier is privately held, but if you wish to see what Frontier will look like in a few years, look no further than Spirit.

For my money, I would choose Spirit, but I'm biased.

First, you've done very little research on either company, might show up when you're talking to recruiters, two you're English is really bad and you don't realize that the word owned as you used it implies they're pretty much the same company (I should know, I've been accused plenty times of bad English) or your typing skills are bad, you mistyped what you wanted to, in that case the Airbus might prove a problem for you. I were you, I'd either pick Allegiant or Delta and fly old stick and rudder planes. In all seriousness pick the one with the better contract and the one nearest your house.
Why do you have to be a jerk. He asked which company, answer the question or move on. Why must people on this board need to act like this police/grammar patrol.

Please share your "Why Spirit" or "Why Frontier" thoughts here!

Is anyone who is going not planning on talking to either one in favor of the other?
I'm not sure why no one has answered with the obvious....in this order.

1. Go talk to whichever you have a ticket to see.
2. Assuming the answer to 1. is both, interview with whichever invites you.
3. Accept the job offer from whichever offers you the earliest class date.
4. If the answer to 4. is also both, proceed directly back to APC to get a bunch of nonsense answers as to why one is currently better than the other. Shake your head in disbelief at the mess you created, as you realize 3. is correct because they'll both lead to the same list some day in the future, so why not get on it soonest.

I would chose the one that gives me an interview and I manage to get an offer from, that being said, Frontier is just starting to grow where as Spirit has been growing for awhile. Upgrades may be faster here at F9 for people being hired today, at least it would seem that way for now, but the pay is behind Spirit. It will get fix but not tomorrow. Finally, look at the bases, where would you like to live. I recommend to live where you can avoid commuting which typically means better QOL. Honestly, I think it's everyone's guess as to which one will be better for a new hire. This industry is crazy.

Why set your standards so low? Actively seeking employment by these 2 companies? Both are flooding the market with cheap tickets and cheap pilots. Fly now, get paid later right?

I guess I'm not understanding what you mean by cheap seats and cheap pilots. Are you saying that high fares are a great thing? Are you saying that because you earn a few bucks more per hour that you're worth more? And please explain what you mean by low standards?

Just trying to get an idea of what you're talking about.
