Frontier Airlines Announces CAO/Treasurer Appointment

Holly Nelson joins Denver-based carrier

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Frontier Airlines today announced the appointment of Holly Nelson as chief accounting officer and treasurer of the Denver-based carrier.

A seasoned professional, Nelson brings more than 25 years of airline-industry financial experience to the position. Most recently, she served as chief financial officer for Aircraft Technical Publishers (ATP), where she led the company’s finance and human resource functions and was responsible for all accounting and reporting, treasury, financial planning and corporate governance for the company.

Prior to joining ATP, Nelson worked at Virgin America Inc., where she served as senior vice president and chief financial officer. During her tenure, she re-established Virgin America in the financial markets to facilitate capacity growth of 89 percent over two years, executed a fleet plan to support the airline’s growth and led negotiations for the purchase of 60 new aircraft. Holly previously served as senior vice president, controller and chief accounting officer at JetBlue Airways Corporation where she helped the airline enter the public markets and guide its tremendous growth.

Nelson is a certified public accountant and holds a bachelor of business administration degree from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Holly is a past member of the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC) which is the senior technical committee at the America Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and she was on the Airline Guide Task Force that issued the updated AICPA Audit & Accounting Guide on Airlines.

“Frontier is exceptionally fortunate to be able to attract an officer of Holly’s caliber,” said Robert Ashcroft, senior vice president of finance. “Her arrival at Frontier could not be more timely, as the company moves towards separation from its corporate parent and continues to shift towards becoming an ultra low-cost carrier.”

Frontier Airlines is a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (NAS: RJET) .

10,000-Employee Airline Leverages UltiPro’s Business Intelligence for Strategic and Operational HR Improvements

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Ultimate Software (NAS: ULTI) , a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (NAS: RJET) , an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Republic Airlines, and Shuttle America, is using UltiPro’s capabilities for business intelligence to generate analytics for strategic decision-making and forecasting, automate critical communications and reports necessary for compliance and audits, and make significant improvements to its overall HCM operations.

An Ultimate customer since 2005, Republic Airways has grown to 10,000 employees. With its large employee population, Republic’s HR teams and executives needed visibility into their workforce from a companywide perspective as well as access to employee metrics for fast and accurate insights on specific elements of the business. According to Jon Clahan, manager of HR shared services at Republic Airways, the company is using UltiPro to analyze turnover and employee demographics, and as a result, has made improvements to talent acquisition, re-evaluated its processes for performance management, and implemented succession plans to avoid talent shortages.

“The airline industry is highly regulated, and one of these regulations requires that pilots stop flying after age 65. With UltiPro, we have been able to identify employees who will be retiring and when they will retire. This allows Republic to ramp up hiring when appropriate so we can better fill vacancies that could have a negative impact on the business,” said Clahan. “Our executives have dashboards in UltiPro to more easily and accurately monitor these kinds of trends, and then we can make the best adjustments and decisions for our multiple businesses.”

Republic is using UltiPro to automatically deliver dozens of reports used every day by stakeholders across the organization. Clahan also has created a series of reports to handle most daily requests for information. For example, Republic’s HR team and leaders may need historical workforce information because airline regulations often require manpower data that may be date-specific and relevant to all employees or that is only relevant to a specific group of employees. With UltiPro, Clahan is better positioned to immediately address a full range of reporting needs.

“Information really can be put into almost any system, but what sets UltiPro apart from other HCM platforms is the solution’s ability to enable people to easily extract information and then deliver it to our teams or decision makers …read more
