To answer the original question....
Yes Allegiant is better than a regional.
Be ready for a serious pay hit though. First year pay will be reserve at 70 hour guarantee with little to no per diem pay due to lack of overnights. Your paycheck will round out around $2100/mo after taxes. However, once that is over the pay rounds up nicely.
The work rules are worse off than what you will be used to at a decent regional, but the out and back flying and autothrottles will even that out a bit.

Let's see, I have done plenty of research, been an ALPA member, was involved with the local, and now I am no longer a part of a union and get to negotiate my own pay and benefits like an adult should be able to do. So maybe it is you who is spouting off thinking you are informed on both sides.

Here's a direct quote from an Allegiant mechanic: "Our goal is to have at least one good engine on every airplane."

Thanks. I'm not really an anti union person, I just get sick and tired of hearing from the mind numb robots who think unions are the end all be all. They are good in some instances and bad in others. There all also good unions and bad unions.

What's your real issue with Allegiant, Fish? This is an anonymous forum, so be honest with us for a change.
