Uhhhhhh... I must say initial training at F9 was the most positive training experience from start to finish I've had throughout my career. I don't say that in a cheerleading way, it's just the truth.

First off, I don't see much evidence that we hire SkyWest pilots. We hire a particular attitude. Your experience is what lands you the interview and your personality is what wins you the job. It's that simple.

Show up prepared, well studied, well informed, be engaging with everyone, work the room, and never ever touch the cell phone. All of this is common sense for anyone who really understands the value of the First Impression.

You wont get asked about volunteer experience or any other BS that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. You will get asked "Why Frontier" and don't give a canned answer.

Best of luck to all.

This is absolutely NOT true! I'm fairly new at frontier, and can tell you this is simply not true. We have a 95% pass rate. The training department at frontier is nothing less than exceptional. The instructors are very passionate about their jobs, and give 100%. I've been in aviation sense 1992, I've not seen it all by any means. However, this training department is top notch period.

You must be the recruiter i talked with. You were the one who said LCC was the future and that the legacies better watch out! Well one thing I can attest to is that Frontier is indeed selecting candidates with less than steller qualifications because they talked with lowly First Officer me and I feel an interview invite is imminent. Pilot shortage is officially here. Believe that player!!

Need some advice from Orlando folks. I'm headed there and am looking to buy a simple condo for myself to use as a crash pad, part time residence of sorts. Trying to stay between 60-90k. Can anyone recommend/discourage any areas/zip codes? Im Looking at a few in 82839, Americana blvd and 423 area.

This is my first post on APC. That part of town is a bit seedy, but if you're looking at the condos at Park Central I think those are decent. It's a gated community with a lot within the gates and a Publix right around the corner. I drive for Uber while I'm sitting reserve down here and I've dropped off there several times. From the outside I was impressed. You don't have to go far from there to be in a less than desirable part of town.

This is possibly the dumbest post I've ever seen on any forum... they squeeze every nickel they can out of every corner... why would they spend north of $20000 to type you, and then fail you... since they started hiring in '13, MAYBE 4 people have washed out... and I'll bet you it was for attitude... judging from this post, you fit the bill... they'll give you extra sims and extra checkrides if needed... there's a lot wrong with this place and the training department isn't one of them... you can choose to come here or not, but don't base it on this ludicrous post...

That's exactly where I'm looking. Seems to the west is very upscale, just to the east is sketchy. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it!
