PIE is a permanent base. Junior for FOs and middle for Captains. I think we have 2 airplanes down there right now with another 1 or 2 by years end.
 
Thanks. I read on another thread that bases tend to come and go without much warning. What are your feelings on the longevity of PIE as a pilot base?

All I know is our LF out of PIE is in the 90s and if you can believe the company, advanced bookings for the next 3 and 6 month periods are very strong.
 
How do they assign seniority within a new-hire class? I'm looking to apply if there is a good shot I could hold SFB fairly quickly. What are the odds of this? When are more interviews and class dates scheduled to begin?

The Allegiant bases do not open and close. The bases are stable. The cities sometime open and close. The company has demostrated the willingness to pull-out of a market when it doesn't preform as anticipated, moving the resources into a better market.

Seniority in class is assigned by birthdate. I applied with the same plan, SFB ASAP. In my case, it is looking very good. I am tentatively slated for PIE in May (straight out of IOE), and should be able to hold SFB in a month or two if things continue.

As far as interviews and class, the interviews continue for class in April. I would guess another class by summer's end?

Good luck,
Spaz
 
How's class going Spaz??

I haven't heard anything about classes past the April one, but I'm sure we'll see another one within a few months.
 
Thanks for the info Spaz. Do I need to fill out the online app or should I just e-mail a resume and cover letter for starters? Also, is there a name to address the cover letter to? Thanks guys.

Just got a call for an interview on Monday the 2nd for a class starting on April 19! I'm a low time guy so we'll see how it goes.
 
RP170,

Your time qualifies you for the interview--you have enough time.

The job is yours to lose. Be yourself, be positive and try to relax (easier said than done...)

Good luck!

No phone call here for the April 19 class. They said they would be sending letters to some people for future classes though. The HR portion of the interview went great. Chief pilot questioned the fact that I have no turbine PIC and seemed to be concerned that I didn't know anyone at the company. Otherwise I felt like I did fine. I guess we shall see if I'm considered for a future class.

I don't know why they would question you about your lack of PIC time if they actually invited you to the interview - they clearly knew you didn't have any PIC time. Plus, you have good glass experience on the 328 and the 170 - not bad. If you go to Allegiant you will need to get used to more round dials again - although I understand that most of the MD80s have some EFIS.

Good luck.

That's what I thought too. But he honestly acted surprised when he was looking at my resume and I didn't have any PIC as if it was the first time he had taken a look at it. Have a clean past track record too. No violations, etc, etc. I gave it my best shot.
 
I interviewed about 1.5 years ago. I didn't know anyone at Allegiant, I had no turbine PIC and I was by far the low time guy in the interview group with 4200 hours. He also acted surprised when he saw that I had no PIC time, but I still got hired. Hang in there!
 
What are the odds you could get Laughlin, NV as a domicile as a newhire? How soon could one likely bid Laughlin if you wanted it?
 
IFP is not that senior. Jr FO DOH Jan07. But with only 3 FOs, it's a matter of one of them wanting another domicile or upgrading.
 
Hey Emb-170!! We interviewed together with shields. He got the call an hour later for the 4/19 class. Seems like they hire a variety of people with different backgrounds. I wouldnt worry about the pic time with allegiant air, if you get the interview its upto to you to get hired regardless of your exp. Im looking forward to applying again in a year. Tell Aaron I said hello ;)
 
What's up brotha!? Yeah I figured Shields would get it. He was always real outgoing since I've first known him. I'm happy for him. Didn't they say they would be sending some letters for future classes too or were those also phone calls? It's been a crazy week. I can't remember what's what.
 
Anyone heard anything yet from the interviews that took place 3-4 weeks ago? I did not receive a call for the April 19 class but they said they'd be sending out rejection letters or letters offering a future class date. I haven't received either. Would have thought I would have gotten the "thanks but not thanks" letter by now. Maybe they are trying to figure out when the next class is? If anyone has gotten a response let me know. Thanks.
 
RP, let us know when you hear something good or bad. I'm another long term FO whose holding out hope for allegiant. I did send a resume about 6 months ago and got the "we've received your resume and well call" letter.

I would suggest keeping in up to date to show you are still interested. Do you know anyone at the company?

The latest plan had a class start yesterday and that was it for the summer. I would not be surprised to see another 1 or 2 though through the summer. Just my 2 cents.

No, unfortunately I don't know anyone that works at the company. The chief pilot also addressed the fact that I didn't know anyone at the company in the interview. I know one of the guys from college that interviewed the same day and did get the call for the April 19 class. He had letters of rec from a couple of guys that worked there that he knew from his previous employer. Unfortunately, no one from my current employer has went to work for Allegiant that I know of; hence no contacts there.

They said you can re-interview in 1 year if you were not selected for the April 19 class or a future class. Still have not heard one way or another yet. I'm hoping for a future class since I live in MCO and it's the one place that I'd really like to work.
