Allegiant Interview

[Fly High]

Looking at Airlinepilotcentral, it states : "Next contractual pay raises: Nov 2008, Nov 2009". Is the $41 for 1st year FO correct or old info?

 

[reepicheep]

I turned down an interview offer last year and I too wonder if I'm on the blacklist. I'll know soon enough I guess.

 

[Jeff Helgeson]

New pay rate effective May 1st.

If you turned down a class with AAY, you don't have much of a chance this time around. That has been the case historically.

 

[Mr Wu]

$41 doesn't change with the new pay rates.

Anybody knows when they're going start calling people for interviews?

 

[reepicheep]

I heard a friend of an ex-coworker already has one next week...

 

[Dannone]

How did you guys get called? Do you have to know someone? Anyone know what is competitive? anything I can do other than fill out the application?

I would think the upgrade times might come back down to 1.5 - 2. 5 years with the additional A/C deliveries. Plus, the fact that there are a number of smaller bases that require more upgrades to staff them vs. fewer larger bases for critical mass. IMO. Not many of our pilots have had to wait over 3 years for an upgrade opportunity.

Yeah, I think the upgrades might increase a bit. Perhaps I can make it in there before my 3 years anniversary arrives. Most of the upgrades will happen over the next 2 years when we add 21 new aircraft to the fleet. After that it will probably slow again.

Anyone know if the calls for the April class have gone out yet? Has a date been set for the class? How many?
Thanks

Through their website

Anyone get hired yet?

 

[KarmaPolice]

It is so depressing to see so many people clamoring over a job like this.

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

That's correct. It would be better if LOTS of pilots were clamoring over better jobs, like Mesa or Great Lakes!

I dont know how you can see anything with your head so far up your ass.

 

[reepicheep]

Any chance we can stay on topic ("Allegiant Interview" not whether you want to work there frankly I don't give a damn) and discuss whether calls have gone out for job offers?

 

[PositiveRate]

Sign of the times.

One thing that needs to be clarified is Allegiant doesn't fall into the 'job like this' category anymore. This is one of the few aviation jobs that allows you to have a normal adult life and still fly airplanes for a living - hence the clamoring.

Uh lets see..

1) they are growing

2) so far their business model is successful

- they own their own airplanes and are buying 757s outright
- their model endures better than most when oil hits the roof
- load factors always around 90%
- NASDAQ loves them

3) pilot pay scale is improving dramatically

4) home every night

5) reasonable upgrade time right now

6) they are hiring

no brainer to me....

To answer the earlier question:

I know someone who got the call today for a class date this month
