you can get a response in less then a week right now unless there’s a holiday after applying. Check the CJO threads in United, delta, and American. It’s about 1-1.5 months out for interviews and maybe 2-3 for a class.

Thank you! And likewise!

Took 6 months from click submit to class date for me but you’re right holidays were in the way and maybe the other places are faster like you say. In any event my opinion is many ppl haven’t even applied yet. Most ppl didn’t do no wakey wakey until the latest AR video which was what like a week ago? Most are trying to locate their logbook in the closet still. Still going to take time before attrition becomes a tsunami wave.

I can’t believe more of y’all haven’t left yet. What’s the hold up? Updating the logbook? Submit an app and you get an interview invitation 30 minutes later.

the writing is on the wall here. Why would you let the greatest hiring event in airline history pass you by while hoping for change from allegiant management? It will never come.

cut your losses and put your money where your mouth is and get out. It’ll be the best decision you ever made for your life and your family

I don't get this post since you said you're leaving (presuming for Delta considering the long wait time you mentioned... congrats).

However, staying here because of the reasons above is incredibly short sighted. Someone hired a year ago at American has about 2000 pilots below them. AA has to continue hiring because most of the pilots are retiring in the next 10 years so that person will continue to move up. 30%-40% in the company on their 10th anniversary is very likely. Someone hired at American a year ago will make A320 CA in MIA within the next year or two at the most. That's way more money than any CA at G4 is making, even under the crappy current contract which Delta is sure to drag up. It's a no brainer if you have more than 10 years left before retirement.

United has claimed they will hire 400 a month this year (I doubt it, but that's still eye watering growth if they actually do it). Their contract will probably be better than American, and the MCO base didn't go super senior. They are also opening a LAS base and have said they will look at other satellite bases. Uprgrade immediately after your first year if you want it. Widebody as a newhire.

Delta is Delta. You'll spend quality time in NYC or ATL and you'll fly with Deltoids but you'll make incredible money and the junior 767 CA in ATL is a May 2022 hire. Think about that for a minute. What a time to be alive.

Anyone who stays at Allegiant at this point is lazy, has too many skeletons in their closet to get hired, or made bad life choices to get bound with the golden handcuffs. The rest of you should get your log book dusted off and updated, and put your apps out. Wake up. You're giving up a lot for "home every night" that can be gone with the flick of a keyboard. The recent letters from the union and management should make it perfectly clear: Nothing is going to improve here any time soon. It's probably going to get worse.

This guy gets it.

This, not only that, you can get any holiday or other event like your kids championship game off. Very flexible schedule for 1 year CA at The big 3.

Honestly a big chunk of the pilot group has been tuned out; drive to the airport 7 hours later in your car driving home. I think some are starting to wake up. A lot of pilots here probably, until very recently, couldn’t tell you much if anything about industry standard contracts, hiring & progression at legacies, and the kind of schedules & QOL available.

some of the CA I fly with now don’t know what industry standard is even after throwing the unions pdf compare document in their face with bright orange squares showing Allegiant’s deficiencies.

I don't care if the offer $1 an hour or $1000 an hour. The idea that we have never voted on anything is surprising.

seatstaken

If the offer is substandard why would you send it to vote? Luckily the union protects the group from this type of thinking.

Long time fence sitter here and I’ve now lost all faith in the company coming to the table with industry standard pay and work rules. Impossible to know where ill be and what I’ll be doing 10 years from now. Half my new hire class is already gone, the rest of us are putting our apps in now. Already have two legacy interviews lined up next month.

Best of luck to the rest of you.
