Allegiant hiring???

[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...

Besides, it's not all about the money

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!!!

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?

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.

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.

that's more than i made at United

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

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.

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...

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.

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$$
