First of all I appreciate the rides you guys give me to work! I have the upmost respect for all of you! Not sure if you know what's going on at Spirit over the last week, if you do I apologize but it seems our new ceo has called us "lower tier pilots".... This has had a terrible negative effect on our pilot groups attitude towards management. Over the last couple days it's occurred to me that not only he called us "lower tier" but has labeled Frontier and Allegiant pilots that as well. Please do not see this as a post to fire you guys up but it seems at this point we might in the future be one big pilot group and you should be well aware of their view of all of us!! Good luck

You said your CEO "seems" to have called you lower tier pilots. Did he actually say that? If he did it is a dangerous insult to every airline pilot including legacy because it undermines the trust the people in the back put in us, and they do trust us, whether implicit or expressed.

What does that even mean "lower tier"? I guess ULCC pilots are like a Physician's Assistants and Legacy pilots are the Medical Doctors?

Ok, no problem, I'll gladly accept the title as soon as the FAA starts issuing ULCC only ATP certificates and type ratings, for half the cost and half the training.

Despicable!

It must be something in the ULCC management water. Our buddy Nides just called us "second rate pilots" in a recurrent class. Thems is fightin' words.

Has anyone from Sun n Fun received a call?

Management is clearly just trying to lower our expectations and instill the idea that ULCC pilots should make less money. Setting a low bar for contract negotiations.

Nides has also said "we shouldn't expect Southwest pay"

They have their ideas, and we have ours.

Nides has been a serious tool since he was at Xjt years back. They guy has no idea what he is doing and absolutely hates pilots. Whatever we do at both airlines we cannot let them mold our expectations. Low cost it's the ticket price not the pilot pay.

Delta and southwest are about to top united and United will snap up to delta per their contract and then both AA and United are in negotiations again in just three short years. We at spirit and frontier need to go big and really big in these negotiations and settle for nothing less unless we need want to be bottom again in just a couple short years.

Hi Folks, got an interview invite from Frontier Airlines.

Would appreciate if somebody could answer some of my queries.

1) I got the call but did not get an email providing details, such as, the venue, time, documents to bring, app to fill out if required (already filled one out online) and travel and hotel info and such.
Since, the interview is 2 weeks from now when do I get the email & info from them and do they usually wait to send it?

2) What should I expect in the interview? Is there a written test, a sim check?!Are there any gouges online?

Any info would be appreciated!

Fly Safe y'all!

If I recall correctly, I got an email within a couple days that contained the specifics regarding the where and when and what I'd need for the interview.

The interview itself is a panel interview with tell me about a time style questions, one or two technical questions and some get to know you questions. There is no sim, but there is a scenario based portion in front of a paper tiger. You'll be given a scenario to begin with, and will act as the Captain and you have a short time (I think it's 7 minutes) with which to work. You don't have to solve the problem, but make sure you're using CRM and keeping the operation safe at all times.

In between each portion you'll wait in a break room with the other applicants. During this time there will be Frontier people with you, usually pilots, whom you will have the opportunity to talk to and ask questions of so make use of your time! Also, prior to each portion you're escorted by a Frontier employee, usually a pilot, who will ask basic questions, go over your resume, etc. Overall it can be a long day if you have a larger interview group but it is a good opportunity to let them get to know you and for you to do the same.

I'd highly recommend an interview prep service. Centerline, Emerald Coast, etc. There are gouges out there that serve as a good reference but the questions and the scenarios change so don't use them as your sole source of preparation. Congrats on the interview and good luck!
