HR Questions

Question 1

Tell me about yourself.

Answer 1

I’m from Southern California originally, and moved to Phoenix 9 years ago to pursue a career in aviation. I decided to stay after meeting my wife there. While in school I completed concurrent degrees and worked 2-3 jobs to support myself. I’m a hardworking analytical and creative professional in aviation and the field of web design. I pride myself on being a professional who is committed to personal development and safety.

Question 2

Do you have kids?

Answer 2

Not yet but my wife and I look forward to having children in the near future.

Question 3

Are you married?

Answer 3

Yes, I’ve been married for almost 2 years.

Question 4

What hobbies and interests do you have?

Answer 4

I really enjoy the field of design and do freelance projects for clients with my wife. I also love DIY projects and home improvement. To be honest I am also a bit of a video gaming nerd when I have free time.

Question 5

What do you like to do in your free time?

Answer 5

Planning out new home projects, exploring new places, and spending time with my wife and dog Cooper.

Question 6

What is your greatest achievement in aviation?

Answer 6

Receiving my Gold Seal while teaching students was a great personal accomplishment. All of my students were international, from India and China. I was given a student whom had been with multiple instructors and really struggled with approach clearance readbacks.

I hatched a plan to overcome this obstacle. We went and did 13 practice approaches in one flight. I wrote down the time and frequency of each call my student made and tasked him to listen to his readbacks, write down what he said and what he should have said. He made such a drastic improvement on the next flight that filled him with joy and inspiration to pass his instrument checkride on the first attempt.

Question 7

How I came to where I am now in my flying career?

Answer 7

I always had a fascination for aviation, but was steered away by a collegiate recruiter when I was young. He indicated that before I become a pilot I needed to be 100% certain it was what I wanted as the financial and time investment was significant. Years later a friend took my flying in a 152, and I knew during the takeoff roll that I was willing to do whatever it takes to become a pilot.

I worked 2-3 jobs to support myself though school with assistance from my parents to secure flight training loans. After graduation and securing my ratings I was a flight instructor for about a year when I got the opportunity to go to Compass Airlines.

Compass was truly a great place to work until we were set to lose over 50% of our scheduled flying. I looked for opportunities and discovered a 135 operator that would give me a quick upgrade, PHX base, and offer amazing quality of life with day trips. Unfortunately the pandemic hit and my upgrade training was rescinded just 5 days prior.

My goal was always to come back to Part 121 flying and I now find myself here with an amazing opportunity at Frontier Airlines.

Question 8

Describe the kind of pilot you are in one minute.

Answer 8

I strive to be a professional, safe, and responsible pilot who operates with integrity. I’m always looking to better myself and be someone others look forward to flying with.

Question 9

Tell me about the hardest time you had in your aviation Career.

Answer 9

My father eventually succumbed to very serious health issues during my time at Compass. I was in constant communication with our base chief pilot who was very accommodating to me any helped me in any way he could. The company and his hospitality is something that I will never forget.

Question 10

What was your biggest struggle or disappointment in aviation?

Answer 10

Honestly being on the cusp of upgrade before the pandemic was a very challenging time. My wife and I had made plans to have our wedding and purchase a new home, so not upgrading threw a wrench in the spokes. Luckily I had my other profession to fall back on and my wife carried us through by having a stable job at GoDaddy. When all was said and done things worked out great for us.

Question 11

Why do you have low time?

Answer 11

I always had aspirations of flying the biggest jet to the coolest places, but I discovered early in my career that I truly appreciate quality of life.

Question 12

You were at (X company) for 8 years. Why did you leave?

Answer 12

I’ve decided that quality of life and stability are the most important things to me in aviation. While I’ve vastly enjoyed my time with JSX, I truly believe that Frontier offers me amazing benefits in comparison to any other airline out there.

Question 13

What brought you here today?

Answer 13

I’ve had my application into Frontier for nearly 4 years. I was emphatic about the Compass Frontier flow agreement when it was announced and always had my eye on Frontier.

Poised for significant growth which translates to great seniority, new equipment, PHX base, and high percentage of day trips, I don’t think there would be any better place for me to have a thriving and stable career, especially looking at the current economical environment.

Question 14

What do you do to mentor future aviators?

Answer 14

I love talking to people who are interested in aviation. Over the years many acquaintances have asked my to talk to their friend, niece, nephew about aviation and what it entails. I’ve consulted a handful of people who are now pursuing their ratings and I love giving them tips and strategies to succeed in this field.

Question 15

Have you had Any FAA or military Discipline actions?

Answer 15

No.

Question 16

Have I ever failed a check ride?

Answer 16

Yes I have.

In May of 2016 I failed my Commercial Multi-Engine oral exam for special emphasis. I was not able to explain reasoning behind spin recovery techniques. such as why we go power idle, ailerons neutral, rudder opposite and elevator forward. Through this I was able to better understand the aerodynamics of spins and recoveries. I eventually applied these learnings to my role as a spin instructor to ensure each and every student understood why we recover the way that we do in a spin.

In May of 2017 I failed my Initial Flight Instructor checkride for steep turns. I was not able to adequately provide verbal instructions while performing the maneuver which lead to an altitude deviation. We moved on to landings next and my shortfield landing was very rough as I was still fixated on my previous error.

I learned that it’s okay to not feel the need to over-explain maneuvers while simultaneously flying them and also the value of compartmentalizing things emotionally to focus on the task at hand.

Question 17

What do you know about Frontier?

Answer 17

Frontier was originally formed via a merger in 1950 and operated until 1986 when it was acquired by People Express.

After filing for bankruptcy in 2008, Frontier was acquired by Republic Airways Holdings who would later merge Frontier with Midwest Airlines.

In 2013, Indigo Partners purchased Frontier with a focus on the ULCC model.

Frontier’s original logo was designed by Saul Bass (AT&T Logo, Girl Scouts, etc) and the current logo incorporates it.

Currently Frontier is poised to grow almost 3 times, with Barry Biffle as CEO, and seeking a merger with Spirit Airlines.

Question 18

What if DL, United or Fed Ex calls while you're in training?

Answer 29

Any of these airlines would require me to commute. Having done so I have no interest in commuting. Also culture is very important to me and I resonate better with the working groups here as I have a pleasant and can-do attitude. My experience with those mentioned does not seem like a culture-fit to me.

Question 30

Will you leave in 3 or 6 months for another company?

Answer 30

No, as I said previously quality of life means everything to me, as such starting over elsewhere would afford me less quality of life. There is no reason to go anywhere else when you look at seniority progression, pay, and all the benefits that Frontier offers to someone in my shoes.

It was recently a child's first flight ever. I asked the CA if we should make a PA to acknowledge her in flight and he preferred that I do it. So I made a PA at cruise that we had an extra special person on board and told her to come up to the flight deck after landing for a gift. I gave her a pair of wings and we took a picture in the flight deck. The parents were to thankful and I'm sure that Avery will never forget her first flight!

Question 39

What would you change about yourself

Answer 39

Don't sweat the small things in life.

Question 40

Tell me about the worst job you ever had?

Answer 40

Question 47

Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a coworker?

Answer 47

One of my favorite CAs became a check airmen. We flew together after a recent SOP change and he still used the old SOP instead of the new one. After he criticized my way I brought to his attention that the procedure had changed. He said that he preferred the old method still. We had a long conversation about it after the flight and he eventually came to agree with me that the new SOP should be used to avoid confusion between him and other crew memebers.

Answer 48

Catch Me if You Can. I loved when Leo took the jumpseat because his fascination reminded me of my first ever jumpseat ride.

My first solo flight. I'll never forget how exhilarating it was and the feeling of ultimate freedom.

Question 50

To me it means accessible travel that is also safe. Just because the fares are low does not mean you're compromising safety or timeliness.

My experience coupled with my integrity and empathy. I am strongly analytical in nature and keep a light-hearted and open mind to truly lead the crew by example.

Question 52

Have you ever had to take the plane from a superior, and how did you handle it?

Answer 52

Yes, after landing in LAS, the CA was about to miss our turn onto taxiway W. When I alerted him he didn't react fast enough so I gently but firmly applied the brakes and we were able to make our turn.

Question 53

Tell us a way you saved your company money.

Answer 53

We got a 1.5 hour flow time to PHX. The CA wanted to stay parked by the runway with the APU running. I suggested that we return to the gate and hook up ground power and an air cart to which he agreed would be best. During covid I joined the office side to make improvements on our site. Within the first week I identified a form issue and fixed it to increase conversion by 1.3%. Eventually redesigning the entire website and app with an expected impact of at least 5% increase of conversion

Question 54

Tell me about the most annoying captain you’ve flown with

Answer 54

I flew with a new CA who was very micromanaging to both myself and the FAs. I was able to talk to him as to why he felt a need to listen to the PA all flight and make corrections over the FAs. It came down to trust and by the end of the 5 day he felt comfortable with the crew enough to let us do our duties.

Question 55

Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a captain.

Answer 55

The CA plugged in Direct to SAN from LAX and said "We would just get vectors there." I said no, we need to program the clearance into the FMS to which he replied he couldn't remember how to put Victor airways in. I asked him to let me load the flight plan.

Question 56

Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a captain and it was your fault.

Answer 56

I was having a great 4 day trip with a CA as a brand new FO at Compass. On the last day we were receiving a line check. My leg into SEA I was incorrectly trying to LNAV at a 90º to a localizer. This worked great when in magenta needles but I left mine in green. It resulted in a go-around. On the next approach I did the same thing and thankfully tower gave us a last minute heading to correct my mistake. Once on the ground the Check Airmen told me my mistake and the CA didn't notice because he had confidence in me from the previous 3 days.

Question 57

Tell us about a mistake you made and how you rectified it.

Answer 57

On an arrival into Burbank we were behind a 767. I should have noticed it but we got such bad wake that it disconnected the autopilot. I immediately took control and corrective action. After calling the FA to make sure her and the passengers were ok, we got offset vectors from ATC and the rest of the arrival was uneventful.

Question 58

Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer.

Answer 58

We had a plane swap and gate swap after we discovered an issue with the airplane at LAX. We had a family onboard who didn't speak english so I escorted them to the bus shuttle between terminal 2 and 3 and showed them where the new gate was while the CA rushed ahead to prepare the new airplane.

Question 59

Tell us a time you had an emergency and how you handled it?

Answer 59

During a training flight in a piston multi, we were practicing engine out procedures. My student was in a rush to land as soon as possible instead of evaluating our climb/descent performance and possible airports. His initial choice was a small, uncontrolled airport far from any services. After a discussion where I pointed out we had plenty of performance to maintain altitude, he came to the realization that would could easily make it to a controlled airport with emergency services and 3 10,000 foot runways. After the learning exercise we attempted to start the engine back up again. It would not unfeather. I had the student in the back search through the POH to find any possible remedies while I took controls and headed for our chosen airport. After declaring an emergency I told approach that we would be staying high. He immediately gave me a Bravo clearance and we landed without issues. After being towed in our MX came to see the airplane and let us know that there was no nitrogen pressure in the unfeathering accumulator. A discussion with the school's chief pilot turned into a twice monthly check of the nitrogen pressure, which was previously required during the 100hr check.

Question 68

Tell me about a time you were given instructions and something bad happened, and what you learned from it. Not necessarily aviation related

Answer 68

I was a brand new student pilot with my instructor practicing landings. We were behind an Allegiant Airbus and were cautioned for wake. On short final we began getting a rolling motion and I asked if we should go around believing it to be wake. The instructor said it was just turbulence and to continue. Immediately after touchdown we were getting violently rolled to the side of the runway and could not maintain centerline so I did a GA and finally got clear of it.

Answer 72

Our previous chief pilot was in constant communication with the pilot group during the pandemic. I consulted him before buying a home and weeks later when it was apparent we would be in a major downturn he called me again to see if I had followed through. He was as transparent as possible with me during that time and I really respected the fact that he really cared.

Question 73

Tell me about the last time you made a mistake in the cockpit and how you handled it.

Answer 73

On flap retraction on the after landing flow I brought the flaps up to 9 instead of all the way up. During the after landing checklist verification I looked at the flaps which were in transit and assumed they were moving to the 0 position. I realized my mistake once we set the parking brake. I deplaned once we opened the door and let the ramp crew know to remain clear of the flaps. I gave the CA a thumbs up from outside, visually clearing both wings so we could safely bring the flaps up.

Question 74

Tell me how you learned something complex

Answer 74

Trying to understand the mechanics of things helps me out quite a bit, but in the absence of that rote memorization and constant studying.

Answer 83

I am a pleasant and empathetic person with dedication to professionalism, perfect for customer hospitality.

Question 84

Answer 84

After not flying for almost 2 years during re-qualification training, they attempted to send us to the checkride after just 2 sims. I also had a low time sim partner who was mixing old and new SOPs and memory items. We put our foot down for more simulator sessions and I spent a lot of time studying with him, going over the new SOPs and memory items.

Answer 87

I'd choose the small book, kind of similar to limitations.

Question 88

How have you improved the culture at your current airline?

Answer 88

Question 92

Tell me about a time you needed to get information from someone and they weren't forthcoming?

Answer 92

A ramper in El Paso asked if it was normal for water to come out of an water overflow valve. I said yes, but how much water? He said it was draining and wasn't sure if was normal and left. I decided to go take a look and it was basically spraying out water like a firehose.

Question 93

Do you have any training failures?

Answer 93

At the airlines? No. Checkrides, Yes. In May of 2016 I failed my Commercial Multi-Engine oral exam for special emphasis. I was not able to explain reasoning behind spin recovery techniques. such as why we go power idle, ailerons neutral, rudder opposite and elevator forward. Through this I was able to better understand the aerodynamics of spins and recoveries. I eventually applied these learnings to my role as a spin instructor to ensure each and every student understood why we recover the way that we do in a spin. In May of 2017 I failed my Initial Flight Instructor checkride for steep turns. I was not able to adequately provide verbal instructions while performing the maneuver which lead to an altitude deviation. We moved on to landings next and my shortfield landing was very rough as I was still fixated on my previous error. I learned that it's okay to not feel the need to over-explain maneuvers while simultaneously flying them and also the value of compartmentalizing things emotionally to focus on the task at hand.

Question 94

What's something aviation-related that you've learned recently?

Answer 94

Our APUs don't perform well in the summer time. I noticed at times that it initiates automatic shutdown around 720º (max limit is 884°). I found a operators manual online and discovered that the APU will initiate automatic shutdown at 706º plus or minus 11º at rated speed.

Question 104

Tell us about an example of customer service you have witnessed at the airport.

Answer 104

We had an issue with a door seal. MX told us it was going to be at least 2 hours to replace it and then do a pressurization check. The company buys passengers food right at the 2 hour mark and wanted to wait until that point, so the CA bought subway for all 20 passengers.

Question 105

Why do you want to fly passengers instead of boxes?

Answer 105

For me I love giving wings to the kids and saying goodbye to the passengers. Boxes also don't say thank you.

Question 106

Without using the words Airbus or NEO, tell us why you want to work for Frontier Airlines.

Question 116

Do you know anyone at Frontier?

Answer 116

Not outside of my interactions with crewmembers and jumpseating.

Question 117

What did you do last night before the interview?

Answer 117

I flew in early to review study materials and get a good nights sleep.

Question 118

Do you have any questions for us?

Answer 118

Is the plan more day trips? I see that roughly 35% of the schedules are day trips. Any projections for the PHX base? Possible for a new hire? Any other bases speculated for the future? Do the pilots and FAs stay in the same hotels? Have the same trips? How do you maintain a strong culture focus while expanding? Is Hawaii flying in the cards? What is your favorite and least favorite thing about working at Frontier? Anything you would change? Do you provide airport parking in base? Is training AQP?
