New class that started 11/14 got hotel rooms right off the bat...things are incrementally improving. No rental cars till sims, though.

Hope I don't get sick over the holidays...decent odds of winning that truck!

The problem is we need all that in writing. The company will change they're mind and ask us too "be flexible" at the drop of a hat.

Would anyone be able to describe what the schedule is like for the 757 Vegas? Is it all overnights? Are there any 757 routes in the lower 48? Is the training program well put together?

Thank You

Pretty pathetic when they have to resort to bribing pilots and FAs not to call in sick with a car or truck.

This is the same management team that was paying FAs lump sums of cash to retire early not long ago. We have a CP and former president of the company that were offering pilots LORs if they wanted to leave, in fact, daring pilots to leave. Nice bluff. It failed. Now we are so short on staffing we outsource flights daily and have contests to bring sick employees to work to spread the love.

So here's to working with weary, sick employees that hobble in to work, make mistakes as they drift in and out of consciousness, and get everyone else sick. Thank you MG for yet another biased for action, platinum standard contest.

Your newhire class may or may not even have 757 slots available.

Training is sub-par across the spectrum.

Some overnights if you go over the pacific, otherwise no.

As has been stated repeatedly before... coming to Allegiant as a newhire with a plane or base in mind is probably not going to work out for you for your first year of an uncommutable job that pays $2000/mo and a strike looming.

True, but I live in vegas and would love to not go down with the sinking regional boat that I am on...

Do you know by chance if vegas is junior or senior on the 757 and Md80?

Mesa is hiring. Do you have your app in? Seriously though, if you hate Allegiant so much, then why not leave. There is a very vocal contingent here that seems quite unhappy. Every major airline is hiring right now. Why not quit?

In time. But before we leave, there is going to be a fair contract, or we’re going to STFD. So this, “we’re different” crap doesn’t follow us to our next airline. Do you work here? I currently do. Why quit, when there is going to be such a rare opportunity to give a nice, “Take this job and shove it” picket sign up someone’s bumm.
