Looks like they are back up to 2 years experience preferred even at the ULCCs.

Class date TBD. Honestly surprised this went out so quick. A couple leaving this month and they just added more lines for increased flying. Training is 4 weeks of classroom followed by 3-4 weeks of OJT. I expect them to hire a small class of 3-4 but could see more if they want a surplus of relief lines for FPM switchover. Workload varies by day/shift but average is about 25 flights

My understanding is Frontier is switching to FPM, I *think* from navblue. Somebody from F9 correct me if I am wrong.
My condolences on switching to FPM.

If it's nb it would be NFP I think. Personal experience - nice in many regards but over engineered for domestic and NA intl. Support is not so good

I might have been one of the few who actually liked FPM. But now Flight Keys is really really good. I think most airlines will move to FK over the next decade. It’s a good system.

Using FPM at my current shop it’s definitely makes things more annoying than it should be.

I doubt anyone will hear anything until after May 10, which is when the post closes. But I could be wrong.

My experience the last few rounds of applying had been that they will keep the posting up even after they’ve selected candidates and had a class date set. I also never received any communication aside from a TBNT 6 months after I applied the first round.
Has anyone heard back on this yet?

Nope nada. Have heard they take a long time to get back to anyone.

When I worked at F9, they wanted to switch flight planning systems. FPM ( FWZ) came and did their presentation. The next day, their was a discussion about it and most everyone agreed it was not what they wanted. I don't recall if NavTech (NavBlue) did a presentation. F9 opted for LIDO at the time, I learned the system, taught the initial classes for the dispatcher. Took 18+ months before trying to go live the first time. Since F9 signed the contract before the financial crises and their bankruptcy, we continued with implementation. After Republic bought F9, the project got killed about 3 days before final acceptance. LIDO and Aerodata failed before and IT had it fixed. I had just finished the testing and waiting to go live again.
Having worked with 5 different flight planning systems in my almost 3 decade career.
My choices would be NavBlue, lIDO, DM, FPM, HP/EDS/or what other names it has gone by. (it is what CO used before the merger)
FPM is manpower expensive.
