General Overview of Experience	It’s a long day (just over 12 hours). They first email you a personality test and a very challenging puzzle scenario which takes an hour or two, don’t start late at night after a flight like I did, although I passed. The day of the interview we are asked to show at 0615 and the chief pilot briefs everyone starting at 0630 for about an hour about Frontier. That being said, they tell you all there is to know about the company, so dont waste your time studying this, no one got asked about company numbers or specifics. After the presentation we did an ATP test. Sheppard Air has the best gouge specifically geared for Frontier, without this, the test would have been extremely difficult. Most of the day is waiting around with the other applicants. Initially they will do a low-threat logbook review, just making sure the numbers add up. The rest of the day consists of 3 other interviews: Approach plate, SBI, and HR panel. The approach plate involves briefing a Jeppesen approach and answering some relatively easy questions. The SBI is a 7 minute timed event with a lose-lose situation and there is not a visible timer, so it’s always a surprise when it goes off. Everyone thought they failed the SBI and very few actually announced their plan when the timer was up. Then you debrief for 2 minutes and you’re done. The HR portion involved 30 minutes of fairly straight forward questions. Overall everyone was very nice, no confrontational or otherwise interviewers. Every pilot and employee was very friendly and would seemingly be wonderful to work with.

Technical Test Questions	wasn’t expecting to have to calculate start of descent or FPM but managed to figure it out. Totally nerded out and had a calculator in my pocket from the ATP test which was a HUGE help.

HR Questions	“why frontier” “why should we hire you” “TMA a challenge in your career” “what does customer service mean to you.” They also asked some technical questions involving considerations with icing/low viz/ bad braking conditions reported. Also had to calculate descent in miles and FPM.
Cog Test	Done on the computer at home before the interview, had a very challenging puzzle of trying to find the missing symbol.
