Anyone get a call from Frontier

[starchkr]

Hey everyone, sorry it has been awhile since i have been on here...been studying my rear off for the checkride, and now that it is over, i have a little time again. Phew, finally, officially a Frontier pilot, i have felt like i have been through the ringer the last few weeks...in a good way, except for the getting up at 2 am for all my sims at elast. Checkride was actually enjoyable, very laid back, and i actually didn't screw anything up like i expected.

I think i have actually learned (well at least starting to) to let the a/c do the work, and use the automation...still had to remember to use the a/p though. I am not as anxious to take over the plane when things start to get busy.

Anybody heard anything else on the hiring front lately? I have really been out of the loop over at United and doing everything so early in the morning doesn't help either.

Flyerg, sorry i have not called you back, but now that the majority of the stress is over i will give you a buzz here in the next day or two...you can tell me all about your adventures during training and how IOE is going.

Thanks guys...it has been a blast!! Now i get to actually get behind the wheel..er uh beside the stick. What a way to start out, first trip is a four day with layovers in DFW, MKE and SLC...at least i get a lot of my IOE time out of the way with that trip. It's all good though, i am definately looking forward to it.

I'm running behind.

Congrats man.

You need to do something like paint a purple ball on your forehead so I can find you in the crew room and say congrats personally.

I can still remember the first time I powered up the CFM's. You will have a blast.

I stopped by their Corportate Headquarters the other day on some work related stuff and was very impressed. Frontier seems like a nice outfit so I pitched my application on to the internet pile. I am sure that I will hear something in 1 maybe 2 years or so.

Thanks for the contact info F9.

Way to go man. Great feeling isn't it? I remember my first time firing those things up too Jetsi - what a time. Enjoy IOE; those guys are great and you will have a lot of fun. I've been away from the board for a while now too but should be back at it more consistently after I get back from overseas. Again, congrats starchkr, and best of luck to all of you waiting to live the dream!

Hey Starchkr-congrats on the checkride!! Flying the plane is AWESOME!! I am having sooo much fun and everyone is so nice. I finished IOE on Friday and started reserve on Saturday. Aggessive reserve is really neat, I picked up a trip to SNA with a 20 hr layover-how perfect is that? Can't wait to see you on line. M3-hope you are having a blast too! Schreck-can't wait for next year to see you here, you will do great here and you will love it! I'm sure that your great attitude will pay off! Great to see you all back here, I have been absent for a while too, but things should be getting back to normal now.

Oh man what a trip...we literally covered everything on the IOE checklist by actually doing it rather than just talking about it in the cockpit. Andy was awesome, made the experience very relaxing and enjoyable. From the weather here in DEN monday (2 CAT III landings and the hour long wait for de-ice) to the actual ECAM's we had to work through, it was quite the trip...oh yeah, did i forget to mention that most of my landings really tested the main gear, and they are pretty sturdy:0 ...i need to realize that i land 30 feet in the air now instead of 3...and those brakes, man are they touchy!

Sorry again flyerg, didn't get the chance to get in contact with you yet, i have the next 6 days off, so i will ring ya up. That SNA overnight worked great for ya, you need to get those all the time. My next trip is a short 2 day out to ATL for the overnight and back and then all finished with IOE.

Congrats skibandit, you will love it here.

jetsi and M3...it was a blast, i really do not remember the first time firing up the engines, i was way too nervous to remember much about that first leg...i do remember it was ship 921 though and that we went to LAX...other than that, it is almost a blur.

I've enjoyed this thread. All the good attitudes are refreshing, it has actually lifted my mood more than once to read through it. I can relate to just about all of it, the comradarie and the fun. Its like a trip down memory lane. Congratulations guys, it sounds like a great place to work.

 

[Shrek]

Flyerg.......you are THE BEST

To all that are waiting...hope time flies

To all in class.....hope time flies......

To all that are living their dream job at F9......HOPE TIME STANDS STILL....

Take care all and be safe..........
