In ground school last week, Siegel said 10% growth per year, which would mean maybe 12 months. If you live here, reserve is pretty cush, especially in the late reserve window. I'm at 200 hours for the year, and that includes some vacation pickup and VJA/JA's.

JA, I think anyway, is Junior Assignment ... What is a Junior Assignment, and a "V" Junior Assignment? (military background here and not real smert on a lot of this stuff...)

Hey Fault, do you think late shift reserve will still be good.with all.the redeyes that have been added? I wanted to bid it but holy smokes there were so many redeyes that do.a.30 hour layover then convert to a 4 day with early shows.

VJA = Voluntary Junior Assignment, which works thusly: You go online with FLiCA and specify what kind of VJA you're interested in (e.g. turns on Monday/Wednesday that leave before 10am and pay at least 5 hours of credit), and if they have a trip that they can't cover with reserves, they go from top to bottom of the seniority list calling people whose requests match the trip. If you answer, or call back, you get the trip with 125% pay credit. JA pays 150%, and goes from bottom to top of the seniority list calling every pilot who is legal for the trip. Over 82 credit hours for the month and you get 125% incentive applied too, which makes a total of 156% for VJA's and 188% for JA's.

Hey guys, I got the call for the Monday interview! I'm really excited... I've always wanted to work for Frontier and can't believe I have a shot at this! Finally, light at the end of the tunnel for regional purgatory...

As a 12 year employee, I'm concerned that I might not be able to hold Denver (as captain) if we open a base on the east coast. But don't worry, they pay your moving costs if it's involuntary!

Frontier's process is quite impressive.
They aren't calling based on any hourly formula or computer generated 'spit you out of the pile BS'. Actual people are looking at this stuff. If you get a call it is because A. your cover letter and/or resume struck a chord with them, and they want to meet you, B.Your F9 buddy's letter of rec struck a chord with them and they want to meet you, C. you got a silver bullet, or D. a combination of all of the above.

Typically internal recs go a long way, but I know of folks getting hired without internals. Like any job that you want just keep updating your information and wait. It took me years of application updates to get my last job. You have to understand that almost every airline has more applications on file than employed pilots. There is no shortage of qualified applicants and I don't foresee a day where that's ever going to be an issue.
