Someone hit the wrong button, the lifer regional whiner category is filed under Republic, not F9....

Enough. Its time to stop the RAH bs, time to move on because in the real world...we are moving on.

Couldn't - you can't get back to that once selected. I had to fill out a whole new profile and application to click "yes". Didn't get the auto-rejection this time so maybe I'll at least get a look.

That checks. I just finished my Frontier interview today and out of the 10 dudes there (that includes me) only two lived in Denver. Everybody else was from all over the place.

Exactly correct. I just finished my Frontier interview today and they flat out ask you where else you have applications in at. Even more specifically, they directly ask you if UAL/DAL/AAL, etc calls, where would you go and why. I'm not the BSing type. I was honest and upfront with them. I would probably blast, but given the opportunity to work at Frontier I might find I love it and not want to go. Now, not saying I'm all that, but I do have a good resume and they saw that and it generated those questions for sure if they weren't already going to ask them. So, take that for what it's worth, but also know that they tell you in the pre-interview brief that they now have a $17,000 training contract for 1 year. After the direct questions about whether I would leave or not, I asked about the contract. The interview panel told me that if you leave before 1 year is up, you have to pay back the $17k. That was the first I had heard of the training contract.

I really do think Frontier is a solid company and all the folks there that I interacted with today were great. And for that matter, the whole experience was great and I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience it. If you really want to work there, get there...they are looking for you and they are a great bunch of folks!

Training contract? Doesn't sound so great to me.

Who else has a training contract in the Part 121 world? Maybe I'm just out of the loop.

I left Frontier back in Feb within a year and there was no mention of the training contract. They did mention it during the interview, but nothing was signed during training. I heard that it went away. Is it back now?

I had a great time at Frontier. The training was superb and everyone I met was great. It was a great atmosphere, especially with the split from Republic. If their pay rates and benefits were somewhat near the majors, I would have stayed. I hope the best for you guys!

Pretty ballsy answer! How did they react to that?

Macdacpilot

Well, ultimately they reacted by not offering me the job. In the interview they just starting writing and saying they appreciated my candor.
