Already been there but thanks. It is a great resource. I was also hoping to hear about possible new service and any other updates for the company.

An HR type interview only. No Tech/Sim. It's a get to know you session. Be organized, have some preplannes answers, seem positive and happy to be there.

40+ new hires this year. A class of nearly 20 begins on 8/24. A second class (the I presume you will be interviewing for) will take place in september. After that I believe the next planned class will be in march.

All growth right now is in SFB. There are openings in Las Vegas however, because of upgrades going to FL. I'd say the likely domicile spread will be 60/40 with the majority going to SFB.

Next year in 07 there will be expansion in Vegas.

Possible upcoming IPO, maybe a few new airplanes. more next year...

Try and do this when you get online as well.

I've heard the third class will be late Dec or first week of Jan. to have them ready for the March build up. This came right from the chiefs mouth.

HR, situational type questions. VERY nice and very relaxed. They want to know if you will fit in, and what kind of person/decision maker you are. We were told about 55% Orlando and 45% between Las Vegas and Reno. The 8/24 class is also going to be the first class to go through and not recieve any paper manuals. Looks like its one step closer to going to a full "paperless" cockpit. Good luck, I hope it works out well for you. Allegiant seems like a really good place to be right now.

Allegiant just added new flights to 9 cities from Vegas. That should be good for guys who want to be based out west!:beer:

How will that work with no paper manuals, will the company be providing a computer to the new hires?

 

[Tri-holer]

I sure hope so. The laptop computer I have is so old that it is only good to keep the laptop bag from collapsing in upon itself. I keep thinking about buying a new one but can't afford it on regional FO pay.

Am really looking forward to being there. Hope the interview goes well. Thanks to all who have put up information. You have been a real help.

Charter vs. Scheduled Flying

What percentage of your flying is charter vs. scheduled? Do some bases get to fly more charter than others? I thought I read that Laughlin did a lot of charter work due to the location and specific casino contracts. Do the LAS and Sanford bases get a fair mix of charter as well? For example, I think I spotted an Allegiant MD80 at ATL a few weeks ago and I know it doesn't serve ATL on a scheduled basis (must have been a casino charter).

It would be nice to get some route variety every once and awhile.

Any Ex Planet types out here? I was in the last FO class at Planet and I am currently flying a CRJ700. I was wondering if any of the ex Planet types could help me get an interview with you folks. I live in SFB and would like to go home!! I hate commuting. Dont we all right?

Any help would be appreciated guys/gals

I was told the airplanes will have the tablet style, touch screen computers installed (like what Flight Options uses). I heard they have some working trainers at HQ.

Just wondering how some of you got the interview. I've sent resumes but no response. I don't know anyone who works there. Thanks
