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.

You won’t get an invite to a meet the chiefs without an ATP.

Exactly my point. Unless you’re in a golden boy program, none of these people are going to call you unless you have some kind of combination of CTP completed, ATP, and prior turbine time.

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.

My take, the off periods are nice to have; reset and study up for the next part of training. You get paid ~$1,500 gross twice a month, United travel benefits day one, Delta after 30 days (I think), some descent "leisure hotel" rates if you look around. It's been an easy/enjoyable existence for me.
I'll be the second to ask, "Why not Envoy, PSA, Piedmont?"

People that have recently gone through have seen Indoc then a 50% chance of an up to two week delay. Ground/Matrix then depending how you are able to bid your PT/SIM schedule you may have up to a month off. Some PT/SIM schedules have a bit of time off between PT and MT; could be 10 days-ish. IOE scheduling might throw some off time in there too... Mine scheduled out to be between 4 and 5 months start to finish.
