I'll give you all the gouge you need...
SBI - take your time and make a logical decision just as you would do during any flight
Panel - prepare yourself for the basics like briefing an approach, decent planning, why frontier... Know something about the company... 3 newest airplanes, what awards frontier has recently won... If you fly on frontier to the interview, learn the crews names... Remember their names... When they ask you something, just don't spit out an answer... Take a second to think and put your thoughts together... If your answer is longer than a minute or two, you've rambled... They change the questions not just from day to day, but interview to interview... When they ask you why frontier, think of something original to say... They know they fly airbuses... They know they have a good culture, they know when you jumpseat, frontier is always friendly and accommodating... Stand out
The rest of the day - be friendly... Be honest... Don't run your mouth... If you're humble and they think they could fly with you for 4 or 5 days, you'll get the nod... They'll tell you in the intro that they want to hire you... They mean it... They're not in the business of wasting yours or their time... Take it from someone who knows... There are NO tricks... They want to get to know you... Thats it! This is a good place to work and honestly, its only gonna get better

Schedules
I won't post the union response to our June schedules on a public forum but I believe the words "disastrous" and "historically bad" were used.
My purpose isn't to smear F9. I've been very impressed with the competence and professionalism of our flight crews considering the adversity we face on a daily basis. It is possible to transition a business model without the collateral damage this airline has inflicted on its customers and employees. This being a Frontier hiring forum, my concern is the disparity between the rosy picture F9 recruiters paint and the actual situation on the ground. Does Frontier have the potential to be a great place to work one day? Absolutely...but don't come here in the meantime expecting smooth sailing.

I've been following this thread and had my eye on F9 for awhile. I just hit the 2500 hr mark and was thinking about heading to the DFW Aero Crew Job Fair in July.
Quick question: Does any one know if the 1500 multi is a hard minimum? I've got all the other times, but still about 500 hours short on the multi time.
Thanks.

Yes, all the minimums are VERY hard minimums. Correct me if I'm wrong on this guys, but I've heard strait from an interviewee who was just minutely shy of one of the mins. Through some sort of mixup, he was invited to interview, but was not allowed to continue once they looked at his logbooks. OUCH! I felt so bad for him.
Do you think it would be helpful to see them at a job fair now before I meet the mins? Or would I just be wasting my time?
I'd like to get to know the recruiters and let them know I'm interested, but it's a lot of money, so I'm torn.

This is a tough one. It would be interesting to get Broflyer's opinion. In one respect it certainly couldn't hurt to attend one without the mins, but I'm thinking if you did this, you'd end up having to go twice. The people who do the fairs change from time to time as well, and you run the risk of being forgotten. I'm with the last poster. I think you'd be better served to bring your 'A' game once, when you have everything you need to get an invite that day. But this is just my opinion; I would hate to steer you wrong; seek out some more advice on this!
