As a new hire on reserve, what's a realistic amount of flight hours per month that a new hire FO could fly? I'm currently debating leaving my regional and all bases at F9 are a 2 leg commute for me except for PHL and ATL. I'm currently at a UAX regional with my career goal being DL. I understand that Frontier is categorically better than my regional in every way, but my goal right is to fly as many hours as quickly as possible, QoL be damned. Currently a few months out from holding a line at my regional, and I'm flying 40-45 hours per month. Just trying to gauge if a 2 leg commute on OAL metal is worth it. Thanks for your time

No disrespect taken. As an outsider looking in, that's what it feels like is F9's new target. The people at my regional getting a call are the ones who applied because they are ambitious and want to "beat the flow". I'd have to imagine that there's plenty of people with that mentality already over there. Makes me wonder if Frontier's new strategy is to hire inexperienced pilots like me so that they can get concessions on qol and/or pay

I am sure management has the idea of "if they all keep coming to try and go to the legacies, not all of them will be able to get there"
Which is a big issue, if we keep having classes filled, keep seeing warm bodies on OE, etc. the guys senior here are itching to upgrade. I am sure that they aren't worried about the attrition right now. Issue is this is EXACTLY what lead the regionals to implode on themselves right now. (skywest lost 180 last month, 110 FOs 70 CAs. They are forcing upgrades and cant keep people around at all)

Probably just in case we decide to go back to Canada maybe?

The application asked if “do you hold the right to work in Canada?” This is why I asked and I do. Was curious as to why a U.S. carrier is asking US citizens if they can work in Canada.

Thanks for spoon feeding me, very much appreciated, I have dribbled some on my cheek mind cleaning that up too? Never saw the website as I am not on here all that much, can’t be bothered to go through hours of chat messages looking for something I didn’t know existed. Simple question I asked, you answered it in a passive aggressive manner so thanks for that!
Now, about that dribble!

Canada won’t allow you in the country if you have a DUI. Big problem for a pilot of a US Carrier.
