Allegiant Pay Questions

[GarretandPratt]

ALG PAY First Year FO

I made 41K and change my first year. I was on and off resv the entire 12 months. Some was due to IOE some was due to lack of seniority. I flew around 650 hours my first 12 months at the company. I am now making the big $49.00 an hour. I am right now only a few numbers from upgrade and I got through recurrent without failing. All in all life is pretty good! If you want a complete pay scale go to airlinepilotcentral.com.

Now I run the risk of repeating myself on here but THIS IS NOT A MAJOR AIRLINE! WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, WE FLY MD-80S and we are closer to being a regional than UAL or NWA or another legacy. However we are a small step above I dare say most regionals. We have an in house rep group who does a good job and is working hard to make this a better place to work. We are growing and things look ok for now. We all know how that can change in a hot minute.

One step above a regional.............I don't think so.

I agree, that's not an accurate representation of the company. I'd say we're in the trenches with the other LCCs and working our way up at a nice pace each year.

For a company of our size with the relative small number of years we've been in business, we're doing pretty darn well for ourselves. A 20% raise in the last 2 years with another nice size raise to be negotiated this year as well as profit sharing. Line values at 90 hours with 14+ days off each month. 90% 2 leg days with the rest being 4 leggers, and return to domicile 99.9% of the time. Never coming back from a trip and being extended or asked to call scheduling. Never being junior manned on a day off.

The list goes on and on.... I've never worked for a regional like that.

Is the ATP required or will they hire without it? Have gone through a furlough (Independence) so have not had the opportunity to upgrade as of yet. I'm currently sitting at about 3500 TT. Competitive or not? I'm definitely interested in Allegiant being from MCO. Not sure if being local would help out? Thanks for any input.

 

[chperplt]

ATP is required.

I know of someone called to interview next week with 3100 hours.

How soon could one get Sanford once hired?

How soon could one get Sanford once hired?

Depends where you sit seniority wise in class. I think it's been a 50/50 split for SFB and LAS during class. Worst case, a month or two.

What's the Reno base like? # of crews? airplanes? All charters I presume?

3 crews, 1 airplane. 99.9% Harrah's charter with some last minute LAS fill ins. Most go to RNO and stay there until upgrade.

Now that we have established that Allegiant has a great schedule for those that value family life.
...How is the health insurance for spouse and kid(s).
Does the company pay it all? If not, how much is it?

 

[VAPOR]

Reno is very senior and there are pilots waiting to be based there. I would say it will be nearly impossible to hold any time soon as a new hire.

Health benefits are additional thru Aetna, typical rates. I am single no dependents and I think it is $100 or so a month. They also have vision, dental, etc.

How senior is PIE? How many aircraft?

How senior is PIE? How many aircraft?

Not so senior... 2 airplanes right now.

PIE Senority

PIE is very junior, however it is also very new. It started in late Nov. The problem with our airline is that just like many airlines we open and close bases with little or no warning. We had a DEN base that closed right before I was hired, they then opened up SFB.
I have been told the flying out of PIE has been fruitful with good load factor etc. Just keep in mind that our management changes it's mind a lot. They do whatever they think can make them $. Which is why I still have a job so I don't mind!!
A few months ago they were going to grow SFB to almost the size of LAS. Now it looks like SFB will grow a little along with LAS and PIE. They used to talk about a base in RFD a lot, now that idea is pretty much off the table. They aso have been talking about a CUN base again. To be sure I would say LAS is always going to be a large base, other than that I would not hold your breath

Any clue how many pilots are being hired now on a per month average?
