We do it by social security number, so one has a pretty damn good idea of what their seniority will be (but not exact).

Anyone in the class today know what people took? Will all those vacancies in LAS/LAX be taken?

Default 10/25 class base list

ABE 2
ATW 9
BLI 2
DSM 4
FNT 11
GRR 1
IND 2
LAX 1

There are 21 people in this class and whatever is left over will be offered to the 11/8 class (which is apparently smaller). As others on here have already mentioned, it definitely looks like they are trying to ensure staffing for ATW and FNT. Even if someone were awarded a different base during next month's bid, that award wouldn't take effect until April. Assuming 3 months in training, that would mean about 2 months in ATW or FNT.

Interesting they're planning a class of only 9 on Nov 8th. They've always been significantly larger than that in recent history.

The training department has hit critical mass, and is about to detonate. Not enough instructors, not enough sims, not enough LCAs. This is what happens when you decide you're going to kick hiring and upgrades into high gear, while making $0 investment in the infrastructure. Instead, you just coerce everyone to work harder and cancel their vacations (then the instructors quit). It's the allegiant way.

So 8 is probably the max they can get through until they get caught up. There's probably also a bunch of no-shows they are covering for, because they will never admit that.

Rumor is that attrition in the bottom 1/4 of the seniority list is approaching 25%. HQ is buried in PRIA requests. Naturally, management and the training department deny this.

I was in the Jul 12 class and I’ve moved up 17 spots on the seniority list so far.

Its not that high. Have a look at the Pilot Assistance website, there are seniority tools that show who is coming and going.
