Not without an ATP in hand they aren’t. Unless your in the ATP flight school zero to hero program.

Has anyone heard of anyone getting hired at Frontier/Spirit without ATP, if not in a special program? I keep hearing about pilots being hired at Spirit/Frontier with only 1500 hours, straight from CFI…

Is it worth it to just pay for ATP myself and apply straight to Frontier/Spirit rather than a regional? I already have roughly 2000 hours and ATP-CTP done.

1 person in my new hire class at F9 did not have an ATP.

Not correct.

Frontier hiring from ATP, ERAU, CAE Phoenix, Purdue....and probably others. They require ATP-CTP but Frontier is doing the original ATP Issuance. (or R-ATP).

From what I've seen/heard, they're not hiring CFIs off the street, but only from larger university or airline oriented flight schools.
