Cool I'll keep checking the webpage thank you!
Rumor is possible small class 6-8 by end of '10..
757 vacancies not yet filled for FO's. As far as I know, they will probably be hiring a minimum of 11 757 FO's in Feb or March.
The app window just opened and closed. As far as I saw it was from around Aug. 15-18.
Small window.
FYI I read this after it had closed. Hopefully you caught it.
Ok, trying to not sound dumb here but I am not a 121 guy thus I don't know the ins and outs of how this stuff works. Why would they be hiring for the 757 FO spots? Wouldn't some MD guys be able to take up the slots in the bigger airplane which would open up the need for new hires in the MD? Is there some reason why the existing pilots would not want to be on the 757?
It's very simple. Look for a Magnum PI type of situation and you'll be set in Hawaii. If you want to live in a sweet guest house (for free), drive a Ferrari, hang out with Rick and TC at the beech and solve a few crimes here and there, I am sure you could make it work. Probably too many young people on these boards unfamiliar with the good-ole Magnum TV show...
Plus, do you want to fly the MD80s for your entire Allegiant career? I am sure they are fine but I'd appreciate some 757 time (at a "reasonable" wage for the type, please - not sure that mgmt would agree) as well. Some people couldn't care less about what they fly - I am not that jaded YET... Let's hope the wages get some upward pressure as well as new, bigger types are added.
plane is a plane is a plane. Why would you call someone jaded because they don't want to fly a different airplane? You would appreciate some 757 time. Why?
Would you fly a 757 if it meant having a terrible schedule?
I presume seat lock would be 2-3 years - but that is 2-3 years living in paradise (albeit an expensive paradise). Living 2-3 years in North Dakota (no offense to those living there) would be different than living in sunny HNL.
I would look for opportunities to do something different.
Just got done with my second type in the last 6 months. I've had all the opportunities I can stand for a while.![]()
