So here's the question. If you have almost 12 years seniority at a once great regional that is rapidly spiraling down the toilet, what do you do?

Places like Allegiant have always seemed like a pretty big gamble. On one side, you have quick upgrade, on the other there's always the fear of a USA 3000 type situation.

Well, the upgrade at Allegiant is not nearly as fast as it used to be, but still pretty quick for an MD-80. Anywhere from 4-6 years right now. Not sure what you're referring to with the USA 3000 reference. While our flying does vary wildly throughout the year, we do not do seasonal furloughs like USA 3000 does. Not saying we won't ever do that, but it has never happened.

Do what you should have done 12 years ago. Apply to the majors.

It sucks when the comfort zones gets less and less comfortable. Rapidly spiraling sounds like a bad gamble.

I don't know much about Allegiant, but it sounds like you answered your own question.

Yup, just applied.

By "USA 3000" situation, I meant a smaller airline with fewer planes and route structures. They are down to 4 aircraft and over 60% of their pilots on furlough.

Allegiant's niche may be unique in the industry, however the size is not. Allegiant is currently operating more airframes than Frontier, Spirit, and Virgin America to name a few, with plenty of potential for profitable growth in the future. Good luck.

How senior are the different bases? Particulary those in the Western US?

Any estimates on when the 757 operation will actually be up and running to sunny Hawaii?
