Frontier Airlines hiring 200 workers in Denver, 1,100 nationwide
Frontier Airlines is looking to fill 1,100 flight attendant and pilot jobs at its hub cities nationwide, including approximately 200 in Denver. Part of the reason is the airline’s airplanes are getting larger. Frontier is retiring its A319 planes, which needed three flight attendants, and replacing them with A320s and A321s, which need four and five attendants, respectively. “Our fleet will grow from 63 planes in 2016 to 72 in 2017,” Frontier spokesman Jim Faulkner said. The ultra-low-cost carrier’s fleet will grow to 120 planes by 2021, he added. Additionally, Frontier is expecting more pilots to reach retirement age. The company said it needs to hire 300 more pilots and 800 flight attendants through the end of next year. “This year, Frontier turned 22 and as the airline matures, we’re starting to see more retirements,” he said.<br/>
