I've been wondering the same thing. You would think all reserves would be flying, but most haven't flown all week.

It's a proven model to keep most d-bags, whiners and ego maniacs from joining the ranks. F9 may not have a lot going for it in the pay department at the moment, but it's still has an outstanding pilot group and that comes from selective hiring.

Like a deer in headlights. With Alzheimers. Lost on I-70.

It's cool. Spirit luckily felt differently.

Same here. I felt great about the interview, made it through the lunch time cut along with half my group. Then I did the Chief Pilot interview, and JP was extremely rude and kept asking me why I would stay at Frontier if Delta called in six months (I admitted I had apps out to United and Delta when they asked me). Very, very weird. A week later I got the TBNT.

A few weeks later, a F9 recruiter called me and asked if I was interested in interviewing. I said yes, but did you know I got turned down a few weeks earlier? He said he'd get back to me, but never did. Really unprofessional... This was in the summer of 2014, so maybe they're more realistic now.

I like the F9 pilot group, but your management are complete idiots.

Somewhere around 150 flights cancelled today. I just do not understand how things can still be this F'd up. Over an hour to talk to crew scheduling.

*** is going on? Straight up incompetence I suppose.

Imagine a raw egg in your hand. Slowly close your hand and feel the yolk oozing between your fingers and the shell crunching in your fist...that's what these guys have done to the good Frontier name. Of course, Bedford bought the eggs...please excuse the lousy poetic liberties.

This might actually be a reminder to management that labor is an important part of running a business. It's hard to run an airline without any employees

Local news in Las Vegas reporting that stranded Frontier passengers are being told that cancellations are due to pilot strike.

So it sounds like you guys are saying if one were to have an interview in 2-3 weeks, don't go? If it is so bad, then why are guys sticking around, why not just bail?
