Allegiant is hiring FOs

[reepicheep]

What labbats said about TDY's should not be underestimated.....Allegiant block hours vary widely from month to month and there's no way to staff every base appropriately every month. The result is some bases are overstaffed and some understaffed at various times. The solution is to junior-assign reserves from the "over" bases into the "under" bases. You get paid transportation to & from at the beginning & end of the month, a hotel room, and $1-day per diem. And they can and do TDY pilots from one coast to the other.

Thanks for the info guys, I think I will apply and take it from there and see what happens. I meet all the requirements, but I'm sure many people will be applying for the few positions available.

One last thing for clarification. Newhires must find their own lodging during ground school in Las Vegas and are paid $2000/mo during training. Many find a crashpad easily for school but are unaware of the pay at that time.

This is a great airline for those who are here. I like it and I'm sure you would too. Just wanted to make clear what to plan for financially.

Thanks for this bit of information. I applied, but have one unofficial offer from one carrier and a class date with another. Both provide hotel rooms during training.

Yea right......$41/ $63 / $73.
70 Guarantee, mostly locals and $1.00 hr per diem. 10 days off on reserve. Not to mention a crash pad. No thank you. I wont be leaving for that job anytime soon.

that can't be right, you sure that's not their old contract pay rate? seems awful low..

 

[reepicheep]

The rates are correct although they may adjust upward a few bucks an hour next month.

Spoken like a regional lifer. Okay then.

You will take a pay cut from a regional. Plan on $2000 a month taxed during training, then roughly $2300 a month for the next year after taxes. With no overnights there is no per diem and most will see a large pay cut from that alone.

I'm not trying to be negative. This is a great company and they do know how to make money here. I've just heard time and again complaints from newhires (including myself) who just didn't realize how low the pay is to start.

How do you not realize what the pay of a company is if you're about to work for them? That is one of the 1st things I check to see if it's a financially smart move. Not knocking, just curious.

Knowing the hourly rate isn't knowing your paycheck. I got a $4/hr raise compared to my last job when I got hired here, but wound up losing almost $1000 a month after taxes when you figure in the 70 hour guarantee and loss of all per diem.

Is an ATP a must?

Job no longer listed???

 

[reepicheep]

They typically only keep the window open a few days.

Not sure if they are even interviewing....they may be pulling this class out of the pool.

 

[ClippedWings]

The job posting was a mistake on HR's part. The November and December classes will all be pulled from a pool. There are no interviews scheduled at this time.
