I hear Allegiant "forgot" to pay some if not all of the pilots! LMAO

Is it true that on the 757 one of the pilots sits on the jumpseat "resting" until its his turn to fly? This can't be true? :nuts:

1. Yes to JJ but add flight attendants, mechanics... Apparently a "bank error" caused direct deposit employees from getting paid. Nice!

2. Yes (sort of) to Chuck. There is a rest seat in the back for the pilots to rotate breaks. Our seats are miserably uncomfortable and most folks think the jump seat is more comfortable.



As far a hiring, minimal for the foreseeable future. In my opinion, the company is not worried about future staffing and any big exodus. There will always be regional guys more then happy to fly here while they wait for a legacy job. Problem will be our substandard training department. If there is a mass exodus, the problem won't be finding new pilots. It will be training them fast enough. We are ridiculously short in the busy season and somehow the trips always get filled. They'll always find a way.

This method is approved by the FAA? :0

Yep, a rest seat in the back is approved by the FAA. Most IRO's just sit in the jump seat until relieving other crew members or their required break time.

So, a newhire should plan on sitting on Reserve in Sanford for at least a year? Ouch! BTW, what is the per diem rate?
