Allegiant hiring???

[dillfer]

Anybody know if Allegiant is currently hiring? If not, when they might start again? Didn't think that anybody was hiring right now. But heard that Allegiant was. Went to there website and it doesn't look like they are, but thought that I would ask, just in case.

 

[Noodles]

Supposed to be interviews coming up soon, with maybe two classes of ten or so each.

interviewing today

 

[Ameriagle]

Just had a friend recieve an interview invite. Has an internal rec that has been in the pile since last fall. As far as I have heard everyone recieving invites have had stuff in since at least the beginning of the year and all have had their resumes walked in. Hope that helps, maybe others have more info.

 

[dillfer]

All is good info. Doesnt look like you can apply on there website. Gonna have to make some friends I guess.

If all 280 pilots submitted at least one friend's resume, Allegiant would have 280 on file. Possibly 2 classes of 10 this year. It is kind of like winning a lottery to get hired at Allegiant right now.....if you want to call working at Allegiant like winning the lottery.

You know the economy and industry is in the dumps when you have to make friends to work at a dirtbag company like Allegient.

I just want to point out that Allegient is the only airline I can remember to do a stock buyback.

There is something to be said for job security in the name of profitability.

 

[labbats]

Unfortunately that profitability doesn't extend to the pilots.

Enjoy buying your own place for training, but then you can kick back and relax because you'll be making the big bucks all first year long at a whopping $2870/mo. Seeing as there's no work rules you'll be certain not to have to worry your accountant with any frills and simply focus on minimum guarantee times flight hour pay.

Anyone else curious why they're going to unionize over there? I'm not.

Garbage pay, 10 days off on reserve, a buck an hour per diem and 3% matching on 401k.....well at least you a crap job so the company can turn a profit.....

 

[kf4amu]

Not sayin I agree with it. Most airlines can have their pilots work for free and still lose money.

At least Allegiant can AFFORD to pay their pilots more.

 

[labbats]

Tell that to your mortgage company and see where it gets you.

 

[dillfer]

Jesus, pretty hostile towards allegiant. Seems like a good company too me. Besides, it's not all about the money. There is quality of life issues. Seems like pretty good schedules and home most every night. Is this still true?

 

[chperplt]

Tell that to your mortgage company and see where it gets you.

Give me a F-n break already... Yes, we're underpaid and our work rules suck. You knew the pay when you came here, so if you can't pay your mortgage, then shame the he!! on you. Don't blame the company for your poor decisions.

You didn't have to interview and you didn't have to accept the position. You know where the door is...

I'm sure all these people say "it's not about the money" when they collect their bonuses and stock options....

Hi!

Obviously, Allegiant is a HORRIBLE job and no one should apply there.

If you have MD-8x experience, please apply to African Express. It is OBVIOUSLY MUCH better, since Allegiant is such a $hithole.

African Express's will pay about $3500/$4000 month, with crappy lodging, and they fly regularly to Mogadishu, Somalia, and Berbera, Somaliland. Berbera is safer. There is NO commuting, and, basically, no reduced fare pilot or family travel on anyone when flying for AE.

I think all those that just bashed Allegiant should be required to email and promote to all their out-of-work pilot friends the above African Express job!!!

In theory that is true. You need to be able to hold the base you want though. It must have open slots. If we hire 10 pilots it is possible to only have slots in a few bases. That could leave you as a commuter for months possibly. The process starts all over when you want to upgrade, a captain slot may or may not be open in your base of choice. We currently have 10 crew bases. It gets tricky when you consider that we have crew bases on complete opposite ends of the country. If you were hired here you would probably like it once you got in your base of choice. If a person wants overnites and larger equipment to fly across the Atlantic, this is the wrong place. As with any company, the workers are happier when the place is in growth mode verses stagnant mode.

Allegiant's website is currently accepting applications.

I fail to see the problem. This is how it works everywhere.

So what your saying is it's ok to be a whore. $1 per diem?? Jesus

 

[Daytonaflyer]

Per diem? What the hell do we need per diem for? I haven't spent a single night away from home in over a year on company business...not one single night. I sure as hell won't be eating at any hotel restaurants.

A pay raise, a union, and revised work rules is what we really need. To hell with per diem.

 

[chperplt]

You do realize that per diem is not required on day trips, right?

Some of you guys need to pull your heads far enough out of your ass to see the bigger picture here...

 

[BRA]

It could be worse here as you have a small total number of pilots spread across a large number of bases. When the two main bases were LAS and SFB and Allegiant grew faster it was a small issue. The point is all day trips does not always mean you will be at your home every night once you complete training here. That is no longer as large of a selling point for working here and not paying the pilots industry standard.

 

[The Victors]

So you don't eat anything during the day? Or is it you can't afford food? Not spending a single night away is good, assuming everyone lives in LAS or is forced to move there.

P.S. per diem is pay, dumb a$$
