When I talked to them in LGA the only hard number they gave me was 750 multi.

Just relaying. They said 750 multi was the minimum to have an interview, and that my friend's silver bullet would be a way to get an interview without having to go to another job fair.

My friend got hired recently, said the 50% interview success rate is alive and well! His thoughts, they may interview people with the min 2,500TT but those under 4,000TT aren't really competitive or getting offers unless they really nail the interview perfectly.

I think this is pretty spot on, but don't expect this "maybe you're good enough for Frontier" swagger mentality to last long. Frontier will soon need new candidates much more than the new candidates will need Frontier. We lost 10 to the legacy carriers last month and that number is only going to keep climbing. Frontier has huge plans to grow, but this mgmt team is small-minded and short term thinking only. How are they going to staff the large fleet number they plan on achieving when attrition outpaces hiring. You simply can't.

A majority of the people that come here are only coming to bridge the gap...did you hear that JP??? If you think I'm wrong, look at the date of hire attached to those that are leaving! These fools want you to tell them during the interview that you'd never leave for a legacy because you really just want to be part of the Frontier family. We'll let me tell you, a couple months on property at F9 you'll realize that the family only excels at dysfunction.

Nail the interview...what a joke. Honestly guys and again, they need you more than you need them.

While that may be the truth, a candidate that went in to an interview with a hint of that kind of attitude will be shown the door.

JN knows the deal. $$ will talk......eventually. If we do not have industry competitive rates, no one in their right mind will come here.

I know you are trying to prove a point but "attrition outpaces hiring." Seriously? Please provide facts and not bravado.

Attrition is only one part of the equation. We pilots will only see pay increase under two conditions: we run the RLA process through to the self help end point (strike) or the company can't fly their schedule (attrition, inability to hire enough pilots, whatever).

My money is on the RLA.
