And dude, this is the Internet, so you can’t take everything at face value. But, even if it’s only half true, can you imagine. I mean where there’s smoke, there must be fire.

This comes less than 72 hrs after he raided the coffers for a cool $25 million. If any of our pilots fall for this, they're too stupid to fly airplanes.
This after failing to show for negotiations as well. My question is whether he has lost his mind or is really trying to antagonize us. If the latter why? What benefit to them is it to further unify us against them?

Yup. 19 new hires. All Airbus and 757.

5 LAS 757
5 IWA AB
5 PIE AB
4 SFB AB

I've heard rumor of some massive vacancy bid coming. Like everything expected from now till next April. We'll see if that holds true.

I thought IWA was super senior. Now guys are getting it right out of training, on the French joystick?

I'm sorry if it seems like us employees are giving inaccurate info with respect to bases, but it's because WE don't know what's going on. This place is in a tailspin and communication from the leadership has ceased.

Also, while on that topic. How is training? 2 weeks squeezed into 6 or are you slammed for the whole time?
Previous classes have taken about 3 weeks...

Give me 200k to 3.6 million shares to cash in and then I'll talk soft costs. Until then, they can stuff it.

I would like to invite every allegiant pilot and those still looking to work here or anywhere in aviation for that matter, to visit the thread on APC listed, "Ford and Harrison - where are they?"

Its only 2 pages but enlightening.

If you pass the phone interview does that mean you are invited to an interview/sim session in LAS, or are you actually offered a class date?

Is anyone willing to share gouge on the phone interview? I am only familiar with what is listed on the gouge page on this website.

We are trying to save these pilots the extra step of coming here and then leaving a few months later once they find everything out for themselves.

While a few of us are more vocal than others, the number of unhappy pilots rings in a little more than 3. The rest are busy interviewing elsewhere.
Great thread, and count me in on the seething hate filled club. Oh, by the way, I have been here for 7+ years. The great news---I am outta here by years end!!!
