1. (Dec 09, 2024) My interview was for the 8AM session in Denver at HQ. I arrived around 7:36AM, and there were only 8 other candidates. Only 1 of us didn’t get an offer. We spent some time getting to know each other in the lobby before being moved to the cafeteria. This is where the hiring panel introduced themselves and emphasized that they wanted to hire us exactly like what others in AviationInterviews stated as well. Before the actual interview, they took our logbooks to review (make sure... Continue reading this interview experience..

Since they do this separately be sure to tab out your logbook and bring all... Continue reading this interview experience..

Currently (Jan 2020), all Frontier info is briefed by the Chief Pilot over the first hour of the day and no one is being asked to know this as part of the interview process. Might want to Google a pic of Barry Biffle so you recognize him when he drops in!
F9 is Frontier's IATA-Code
Read up on the company. Fleet size. Where they came from, all their old slogans. Who their CEO is. Who have they bought or invested in.

Had a conflict with a captain during my first IOE flight. I explained why I felt this way. Even though it was initially tough to be so bold, he and I later became friends. He said he respected my ability to speak up, especially since I was new.

You will be partnered with another pilot. Whoever has less flight time will be the "captain". They give you a SID, ATIS, TAF and a written paragraph with facts about the flight. They give you 2-5 minutes to read all of this and write down any threats. Things you might see are hydroplaning, ice, wind, dispatch, young flight crew, and so on. After you...Continue reading simulator / scenario information..
Whoever had less time was assigned the Captain/Pilot Flying role and the other the First Officer/Pilot Monitoring. We sat down at an A320 paper tiger and were given exactly 2 minutes to review 2 laminated sheets that included a brief overview (DEN-LAS flight with an MEL'd EGPWS/terrain) of the scenario, and the ATIS - light snow was falling, temps were in the negatives. After the 2 minutes were up, the Captain was asked to provide a "threats briefing" for the flight (MEL'd EGPWS, light snow falling, some taxiway closures, RCAM 5/5/5 for all runways, 2 junior pilot candidates with 2 senior FAs, temps M07/M09 etc.). The interviewer then jumped to say we were now ready for taxi and asked me (the Captain) if I wanted to taxi out single-engine or both engines and what other special considerations there were (deicing) - I told...Continue reading simulator / scenario information..
