You've got it, man! As the pilot RTP class, I was starved for info, so I figured I would do everyone the favor of letting them know the gouge as soon as I did. If things change, I will be sure to update my info on here.

Doesn’t help that people get RTP and RATP confused. Can’t exactly blame them. A lot of people have a hard time with rollabaoad (suitcase) vs rollerboard (not really a a word, but an eggcorn). Just like how everyone at my last job had a systemic issue with “command ability.” All throughout upgrade we were told commandability (also not really a word, but should essentially mean one’s ability to listen to and follow commands) was critical in our role as PIC.

1. Frontier has a contract with ATP Jets in Dallas. If you need it, Frontier puts you through ATPCTP, A320/ATP, and F9 Direct (AKA Jet Transition) at ATP in rapid succession.
2. I answered it in question 1.
3. 8 days for ATPCTP, 7 days for A320/ATP, 4 days for F9 direct.
4. Not paid until day one of indoc. They do cover the hotel. The other $15K comes out of your bonus. It is $15K for all items listed in answer 1, $11K for the A320/ATP & F9 Direct.
5. You contact F9 pilot recruiting when you are 45 days from completing all of your FW training stuff up to AMEL Commercial. They schedule everything else for you. I can't answer your question about backlog, but I don't think there is one.
I hope that I helped answer your questions.

I am trying to get back in after 7 years out. Just 1900 hours, CL65 type with about 100 on type. I guess I have to go regional again to regain currency and experience. Some say to apply directly to Frontier but doubt they will consider me. The 320 program would be great. Not sure if I did it on my own if I would get a better chance. The big issue with regionals right now is FO hiring is very slow.
