allegiant air J/S

[slaquer5]

Anything I need to know if I want to jump seat on Allegiant? Can you reserve the J/S?

Thanks

 

[chperplt]

You cannot reserve the J/S.

Go to the gate and ask for the J/S. You can occupy any open seat, 4th FA J/S, or the flight deck jump for those in CASS. It'll be a very rare occasion if we can't get you on.

alpa jumpseat website

http://jumpseat.alpa.org/

Then, click on "Airline Jumpseat Procedures"

You can get information about most carriers from this website including AAY. Your F/As may ride as jumpseaters in the cabin with their valid ID. No need to use the bass bureau in this case.

If you have any other questions, just contact your Jumpseat Chairman (JSC).

Enjoy the ride,

Jeff

HaHA I got a kick out of this, like the pax on the majors are real high rollers.

Be sure to show up early and check in at the ticket counter at the smaller stations. I almost got left behind in Fargo since I went straight to the gate and they didn't have what they needed there.

Cheers,

The captain usually has all the forms you need.

I jumseated on Allegiant out of Sanford a couple times last summer. The folks there could not have been more pleasant. They let me pre-board and offered me anything I wanted from the Kitchen. The Captain even offered to have my parking receipt validated. They are a great bunch over there. I hope I can repay the favor sometime.

Our passengers may be interesting, but they've led to MANY continuous quarters of profitability. Can you say the same about your dignitaries?

I've heard more interesting passenger stories over AIRINC from the Delta's, American's, and Southwest's out there than our flights. I should take notes and write a book one day...:laugh:

Allegiant pays their employees(including the pilots) peanuts. That's the problem with the industry, we have too many that are willing to fly jets for almost nothing.

You're right. I'm very ashamed to work here. That's why we've stopped posting our quarterly earnings on this board because we can't take the ridicule anymore.

At least we didn't kill Billy Mays! He was on my flight the week before his incident!

Why are you being a d1ck? I have heard nothing but good about Allegiant and am looking at Jump seating on them.

Easy big fella!!! I like to see these pilots at Allegiant share in their company's success with better wages and work rules. 5th MD-80 Captain's pay is at $107.00/hour and $59.00 for a FO. A little on the low side, don't you think? Allegiant has great people who are excellent and professional aviators. They deserve to be compensated better.

An active ALPA drive is under way at Allegiant, and it seems that a large group of pilots are supportive. I think we should all show them our support so they can get an enforceable contract and the protection that unionization provides.

geez I can't wait. (sarcasm)

Active for about 25-30 people these days. Only 3 showed up at a recent roadshow.

Pending ratification, our much deserved raise goes into effect May 1st and brings us in line with the industry. Our advisory group did in 3 months what your company (with ALPA) hasn't been able to do in how long?

I realize with that 40+ million pay out ALPA is about to give the UAL pilots, they need our dues money, but I think we'll pass this time around.
