Agreed with above...that place is a mess. Agents don't give a flying-fig. The other day we were still boarding and fueling at departure time plus ten minutes, with no extenuating circumstances (other birds, Wx, etc.) When we got to ATL (not that it's run much better) the agent looked at us and said "really...late cuz you waited for a jumpseater??"
We investigated her comment to find the the IAD agent had indeed coded the late departure..Flight crew waiting on a jumpseater.
Unreal but just a heads up there for you guys, not a bad idea to see how your late depature out of IAD is coded. I'll fall on a sword for quite a bit, but not an agent with a bad attitude and zero sense of urgency.

I was offered an interview later this month. The recruiter I spoke with said he thought the only class date being offered from this interview date was November 17.

I completely understand what seniority means and that you should never pass up a class date.

However, I have a incredibly packed schedule for the rest of the year (vacation that I've paid for months ago, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) and I don't know if I'd be able to make that class if I were offered it. Does anyone know what sort of new hire class outlook there is for next year besides what the potential number of new hires may be?

I am by no means taking this for granted, but if offered this opportunity, I don't know if I could take it before the new year.

Any information or advice?

Just my thoughts but first off I would take the interview. Pass that up and you may not get another chance, just ask Outdoors. Second, if offered the job then you can express your desire to attend the first 2015 class. They may say no, but might also say yes. I just personally feel there is way more risk in mucking things up pre-interview. It is too easy to move on to the next resume. Once you get an offer they are invested in you a bit more. If they say no, then you can take the November class and either make it work or politely decline.

PS. I think it is pretty safe to assume classes will continue beyond Nov. - but obviously it is always subject to change.

Had an interview opportunity at Frontier recently present itself, and looking for for some rough answers to a few questions.

-Likely new-hire basing?
-Estimate of new-hire time on reserve (and what RSV rules are like)?
-Estimate on what upgrade times will true-out to be (read about many planned upgrades in 2015)?
-Standard 121 style interview, or some gotchas?
-General QOL?

Doing my best to not be prick here, but there are 115 pages of information in this thread and you're questions have been answered over and over again… some within the last couple of pages.

Take the time to read the thread if you're really interested. After you've done a bit of homework on your own, if you have additional questions I'm sure someone will help you out with an answer.

No worries. I read your type of posts all the time. Check my join date - I'm not new to this rodeo.

Went back and read through a solid dozen plus pages, and while there was plenty of good info, none of it pertained to my specific questions. They may have been answered dozens of pages before that, but the post dates start to get so dated that I have to call into question the currency of the information provided.

Shirley you understand.
