I don't want to steer you down the wrong road, it is always best to provide exact information... That said, I don't get the impression the F9 hiring machine would hold it against you for ball-parking such info, as long as the spirit of your confession is in being as honest as possible.

When I applied it was via resume and cover only, and this question was asked during the invitation to interview phone call. I blurted out that I had received 3 speeding tickets in the last 7 years, as my wife was looking at me shaking her head and emphatically mouthing the word "NO!" When I hung up she scolded me... "You got only 2 tickets and they were for failing to register your vehicle in the new state."

I was so worried, I wanted to call back and correct myself but she talked me out of it. At the interview the CP asked me about the speeding tickets. I told him in my excited state I confessed to crimes I didn't commit, told the real story, and the whole panel had a good laugh.

Point is, this place seems to be about realness. They aren't playing games in their selection process. Do your do diligence, and get the info if you can, otherwise be as honest as you can, and don't sweat it.

How many more are they planning on hiring this year?

Actually... Let me qualify my previous post a bit...

What I'm talking about is not an excuse to slack on the details.

This process always has, and always will be about attention to the details.

I guess I'm saying as long as you don't neglect detail out of laziness or apathy, you'll be fine.

My 2 cents.

The word is 28 between July & August with more to follow in the fall.

Thanks. My intent was never to deceive; my memory is pretty fuzzy on a minor ticket I racked up 8 years ago. I'd hate to get myself eliminated over such a minor detail but when even my car insurer couldn't find the ticket in their records, I doubt I'd have any luck trying to track down any more info myself. I'll put in as much as I can remember and let the chips fall where they might.

You should check and see how expensive it is to order your driving record from the state your license was issued. In my case, a $10 payment to the state of Alaska had my complete driving record faxed to me the next business day. That included two citations that predated my living in AK.

If a company is going to do a background check on you, it's certainly beneficial to see what they're going to see before they do.

For those interviewing or trying to get interviews at Frontier, don't overthink it. I just started training in the past few months.

When I interviewed last fall I can tell you it was a great process. It felt like the people there were real and not there to trip you up or make you feel inadequate in any way. Be as accurate as possible and if you aren't sure about dates or exact details about something, be honest. Theses guys are truly looking for genuine people with good intentions.

I can tell this by the people in my class, other I have met from other classes before and after mine, and folks I have gotten to train and fly with. I get the same message from everyone on board and that is " welcome to Frontier and we are excited to have you here". The cool thing about it is they mean it.

A word of caution... They are good at determining personalities as is evident by the great people I have met here. Tells me they are getting something right in the hiring process. It sounds like a cliche but, "be yourself", and you probably will stand a great chance of getting an apportunity to fly here. One last thing... They seem to have a good way of weeding out people that seem to want the position as a stepping stone. I have seen over 4 people that I knew interviewed and had every intention on going to "bigger and better things" and they didn't get the job. I think it's a bit more than coincidence.

Good luck to all who get the interview!

Exactly why this is the place I'd like to hang my hat! Thanks for the post WTJ!

Will new hires get DEN? I could spend a few months going to ORD. But how long will it take to get DEN? Also what does the most junior line holders schedule look like? Most likely weekend 4 day trips, but how many days off in between? Thanks.
