Couple of Allegiant Question

[Vegaspilot99]

Hello, I have an interview with Allegiant next week (for an Aug 2nd class) and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for with searching. I just took a charter/corporate job out of Boise 2 weeks ago and am in the process of moving up here from Phoenix. I need to find a place up here for me and the wife, but I know that if offered the job with Allegiant I will take it. LAS is the base I want and I would like to know how commuter friendly the schedules are (I have some family in LAS so a crashpad isn't an issue). We're debating putting off the rental search in Boise until I hear from Allegiant, but how long does a yes or no usually take (the rentals up here go pretty quick once offered)? I wouldn't mind commuing to LAS from BOI for a year if it's doable and I can get home at least once a week for a couple of days. Wife would prefer to move to BOI, but would do LAS is it's better. Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.

Interview is straight forward really listen to what they say during the first little area of the interview when they introduce the company stuff to you. Usually you will hear that same day how things went if they want you. I got a call while I was on the plane back to SEA. If you dont get the job I am not sure what they do.

As for the lifestyle...It depends. I commute to SEA and it has not been all that bad. I have had to do the 2 leg deal 3 times since Feb. I am usually only home 1 1/2 days a week. People that live here are home every night and current reserves are only working about 6 days a month. As for BOI, SWA is about your only direct hope. Look and see what the freq of those flights would be and general loads to give you an idea. Usually the Jump is open. I have to sit up front about 75% of the time to SEA.

Overall it is OK. People that live here love. I have no plans to move here so I sit at the crachpad bored 99% of the time. Since I have been on reserve I have only flown an average of 20 hours a month. Really slow. I hope this changes soon cause I did not take the job to sit in Vegas by myself doing nothing while my family sits in SEA. If you seriously want to work here and be really happy, the bottom line is move here!

Good luck on the interview!
PM me if you have more ?'s

What Skid said....

Our lines are NOT commuter friendly. They are getting better, but far from being called good. We're actually seeing some pretty horrendous lines right now.... 15 +/- hour 4 days in the Vegas base.

If you live in domicile, this is a great job. It will get better for our commuters, but it's not going to happen anytime soon I'm afraid.

You will hear quickly. Thursday to Monday kind of quick.
