Are they commutable? Etc.


3. Is there any talk of a new contract(date) with higher wages or other changes?


4. Any possible new information regarding a new base in KTTN, KPHL or KILG? Is this a real thing or just a rumor?



5. General quality of life on the line at Frontier?


6. This thread was not 100% clear on who pays for room during training? Single occupancy? Who chooses the hotel? Cost to pilot if we have to pay?


7. After interviewing how long will it take to hear if you were hired? On the spot? A week? Etc.




I read about a PM a few times on this thread, but do not have access?
Anything else that you might find helpful for a person considering Frontier?


Thanks Much

All of these questions are answered in this thread. I highly suggest reading every single page before showing up.

1. 12 days off
2. There's 1-5 day trips... you can make it commutable with open time... you can pick a reserve period which is commutable.
3. There are 4 pay snaps in the next 2 years and the cba is amendable in around 2.5 years.
4. It's a rumor... who knows... I'd bet the next base is either IAD or CLE.
5. Life is what you make of it... if you want to be happy, you'll be happy... if you want to be miserable,you'll be miserable... good group at F9 however
6. You're denver domicicled from day 1... good in the sense you get pay, pass travel, insurance and 401k right off the bat... bad that you're responsible for lodging... I stayed at the staybridge next door... cost around $2500-3000 for a couple months... you can get an apartment or crashpad way cheaper.
7. If you got the job, they tell you right away... Ive heard of a very few instances where they MAY call you back but it's not likely

Forgive me if this has already been asked.

If one lives on the east coast and is willing to commute, how likely is that person to get hired vs someone who lives closer to Denver (all else being equal)?

Thanks

Every bit as likely, because F9 is expanding, specifically out east. The Denver centric-ness is going to change as we grow. I hope Denver will stay the biggest part of us forever, but they can't hire based on attachments to Colorado knowing guys will be based anywhere but.

I know you probably don't know...but maybe you have heard:

As Frontier grows/expands and the Denver centric-ness changes, any chance that they will provide hotel rooms during training sometime in the future?? What would be your educated guess on that one?

This isn't a deal breaker for me at all, but $2500-3000 for a couple months like another poster mentioned is pretty steep. Especially for those of us with a mortgage of our own to pay + other bills.

SERIOUSLY!
Talk to management and get back to us!
Suck it up just like the rest of us did.

My best guess - and I'm flattered you asked - I think they will absolutely start paying for new-hire hotel accommodations sometime right around when HELL FREEZES OVER!!!

From a business standpoint there's no reason they would cover your room just like there's no reason they need to increase pay. With several thousand qualified applicants on file a business doesn't have to give anything.

Does anyone know of any crash pads that take people who are in class for the duration of their training? I googled some, but it would be nice to have inside information if anyone has used one in the past.
