Pros

Support and preparation for training and interviewing event.

Cons

Expectations of knowing a 9 paragraph taxi announcement speech verbatim in less than two weeks. Learning airport codes and more within the two weeks before training which is unrealistic. I had my nerves get the best of me and failed the verbal exam only to get a make up exam the very next morning. After reading reviews working at Frontier would of been a mistake or low pay and BS.

Pros

Your co-workers are amazing! Most of them are young and/or starting their first FA job in the industry. Regardless, you will work with people of different ages, backgrounds, and previous careers and most if not all of them are amazing. The flight benefits are ok. Cabin seat agreements on other airlines is a nice perk for domestic travel. The crew base is only 30-45 min from my home! My base supervisor is very supportive and approachable.

Cons

The lowest paid out of any mainline carrier. Spirit is better than us. Very outdated contract. Management does not care about its employees or the brand; just the profits. We have to pay for uniforms with our already low wage. The planes are filthy and could be better maintained for cleanliness. All ground employees are outsourced, a lot are nice, but some are not on the same page as us. As for the union, yes it is a good support group, however, they could do better. Our reserve system is bad too. 24 hrs a day on call.

Pros

Short reserve time. Relatively quick hiring process. Good place to get your foot in the door in the industry.

Cons

The first time you step on a plane will be during your IOE most likely. The pay is low compared to the mainline legacy carries but you should already know this going into it. The union is a complete joke and epitomizes how antiquated unions are in today’s workforce. You can join them or not but they’re getting their dues from your paychecks over the course of six months. If you don’t pay, cool, they can ask to have you fired. You pay for your uniforms is $300 minimum; my advice is only get what you need nothing more. If you leave or change roles, you won’t be invested too much. HR, bidding, and scheduling are not covered in initial training until the last two days. Be prepared for a firehose of information in the form of a PowerPoint or Skype call to the class. You’ll need to find a colleague who’s got some experience to help you out. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
