My cousin Boudreaux got hired by ultra-low-cost Turnover Airlines. So many people were quitting that he became Chief Pilot while still on probation.
Pilots are such drama queens. Upgrading into an airplane that someone hasn't flown before has been happening before all of us were born and it will happen long after we are all dust. This is really about a person who doesn't like XYZ company and the company today happens to be Allegiant. If person passes ground school, sim evaluations and IOE what is your gripe exactly? And save the he needs some experience in the airplane argument because how do companies get initial cadre check airmen captains qualified into planes they've never flown before?
Not when the opportunities are there because the work rules, pay and QOL are so far below industry standard for the type of planes and flying the company does.Shouldn't the OP be happy that there are opportunities being granted to qualified new hires at that company?
God, all kinds of guys upgrading to the 80 at my company who've never flown one - believe me, they're not astronauts. (Usually.)
Was your company's training department shut down by the feds? Was the band aid your company put on it so flimsy that the feds are requiring orals be done at the FSDO?
A new hire MD-80 first officer was recently awarded a captain position at Allegiant's HOM base (perpetual TDY base) while still in initial new hire training. This has to be an industry record. Meanwhile, senior first officers are deferring upgrade by the dozen to avoid the constant TDY that tends to happen when you are junior at Allegiant. How can the FAA allow this to happen? Talk about dangerous...
