The union recently put out an update on the Facebook page on how to check that your info is correct in the allegiant system that stores the info cass pulls from. Checking that may help avoid these sorts of issues you had for anyone hired now.

Yeah, roughly 12 weeks of actual curriculum. You may get a bonus week or two at home depending on sim backups etc.

It's longer than that now. The training department is at complete gridlock.

I guess it was a pretty big tactical error to **** off all the instructors by canceling their vacations. Now all of those pilots with LCA letters and instructor creds are applying to the big boys. They'll be gone soon.

Ooff indeed.

And considering the company staffing plan for December is to have every pilot on property work the 23rd, 24th, 26th, 27th, 30th, and 31st, the motivation for even the senior pilots to stick around is starting to vanish. I’ve held out for a while now, but I think it’s time to start getting those apps updated.

I know at least 10 pilots personally who applied to a legacy airline or updated their apps after seeing the December schedule plan. Senior and junior. AA is giving out interviews like candy, and putting people in class less than a month after interviewing. DL and UA are hiring everyone they can get.

Management better wake up, or we are going to lose 50% of our pilots in the next 6 months. Nobody is going to stay here and take their abuse when they can move up and get treated like a valued professional. This isn't 2008 where nobody had options elsewhere and they could treat us how they wanted to.

Oh and be sure to check your email and comply with the 2 hour University course of the day, off the clock, on your own time, before showing for a trip, or you'll get a "performance issue" (whatever that means), and YOU WILL receive discipline.

So working over Christmas put them over the edge…..but $100,000’s if not millions in lost potential income & retirement compared to a legacy career wasn’t enough?. If you’re in your 30’s or 40’s should be a pretty easy decision.
