So are they gonna hire 20 for the class and put some more from the 60 interviewed in the pool. Do they still call you if you dont get a job?
 
I think it's 10 for the 24th, and another 10 for a future class...January maybe? From previous interview reports, if you don't get a call, you'll get a 'no thanks' letter.
 
The Sept class is 14. Additional classes TBD, but the last plan I heard was for early Jan. The Sep and Jan classes will be filled from the 64 we just interviewed.
 
Whatever happened to the 757 rumors?

Probably an unpopular topic with the current pilots out there, but what is the status of the 757 additions? Are those discussions on hold? Any more talks about that?

You want to leave NetJets to come to Allegiant?

I would at this point. Too bad I turned down my Allegiant offer after receiving one from NJA in September of 07. Will probably be furloughed at NJA by the first of the year I'm guessing. Gotta love trying to make a living in aviation! :bawling:

Aside from that, I would assume you do enjoy the equipment and the flying. Without the possible furlough, I would assume that is a superior job to Allegiant considering all else. If you are able to hold a captain position in base at Allegiant then the comparison is probably in favor of Allegiant.
 
Hi!

bEtween the economic upturn, and guys taking leave, I don't see why U would be furloguhed. The time to furlough to save money would've been Dec/Feb timeframe.

Yes, that is huge. I live in MCO as well so the SFB base would have been ideal. It was a tough decision. My wife wanted me to go to Allegiant. I choose NetJets because I figured between being owned by Berkshire-Hathaway and being the industry leader, the long term viability and job security would be greater. Amazing how things can change over 2 years.

You come down for two interviews, turn down the job, are about to be furloughed, and AAY continues to make money and grow. Ain't life a bitch sometimes...

Why are you picking on him chp? I've turned down jobs before to stay at my sim facility where it was "stable." Now i've lost my job (as well as my wife) and we are losing our home. We make decisions and "life is what happens when you make other plans."

I've been trying to get on Allegiant for years. I had a job interview lined up in October of 07'. 4 days before the interview I got the dreaded early am wakeup call from my Mother. My Father had passed away. Obviously I had to go back home to NY and help my mother bury him, etc. I called Patrice about it and she seemed understanding at the time ("no problem, we'll get you in the next interview class") She did nothing but blow me off from that point on. Finally 5-6 months later she finally answered one of my phone calls and told me in a sarcastic way that i'm "persistent." From this point on the economy started sucking and everyone wanted in at Allegiant and I was told I will be considered with others.

You guys missed out on one skilled MF'er!

If you interviewed in 07 I would think the split between the two companies was far greater and made for an easier choice. At that time Allegiant's pay was even farther below industry standard and the future survival was not as clear. Pilots were leaving Allegiant (both seats) in 07 to go to many other airlines. One even passed on a captain upgrade to go to UAL.

Financially, yes, it was (and still is) a pretty big difference. Taking home 70K in my first year at NJA was nothing to laugh at. The benefits package is second to none as well. I'd rather make less money and have job security though. That's priority #1 in any career. At the time, NJA was the safer move. Hindsight is 20/20. Still haven't furloughed anyone here at NJA but we have a feeling it's coming. As long as it isn't more than 300 or so guys I'm alright. Either that or us junior guys may be heading to China to start up NetJets China. :cool:

I'm not picking on him... really. If you go back and seach some of his AAY posts, you'll see why I said what I did.

Btw... Patrice isn't the person who calls anyone for interviews.
