If you don't have DVR it might be tough to watch since it's debuting on that "prime" 2am Sunday morning slot, right after Cheaters.

I didn't need another reason to be embarrassed that I work here.

To all those thinking about coming to Allegiant but wondering if all these posts are exaggerations, let me assure you they are not. I am a senior Captain who would be top 5 in any base (except LAS where all the old farts are) on any aircraft. I am number 2 in my current base and couldn't get a Wednesday off in August although 2 pilots below me did. PBS my butt! I can't PTO a dang thing, have at least 4 reserve days built into my schedule every month, haven't had more then 4 days off in a row in months and my pay check has been wrong 6 times since Merlot came into play. Oh and the "Game Plane", what a joke. I had these guys on one of my flights and it happened to be turbulent a good portion of the flight. I got numerous complaints from the film crew and the company because the seat belt sign was not turned off. Really? Communication is a joke, Captains have zero authority until they want to hang you for something and FOs are a legality not an asset. Oh and I make less then a jetBlue 190 Captain with half my seniority. But on the bright side, the cockpits are so dirty you can plant crops on the floor so I'm thinking about growing some marijuana plants to fund my retirement. I'm done holding out hope. Look for me at the job fair next month. I'll be the one pulling people out of the Allegiant line!!!

Wow, the online voices seem to be increasing. Some yahoo on here insinuated it was only one or three Debbie Downers, that probably didn’t even work here. And that every one of his so-called buddies loves it here.

Maybe everyone should keep the seatbelt sign on when they're onboard...because ATC said there's some 'light chop' up ahead...

Allegiant must be getting ready for a big training push. Their booking all of the MD-80 sim time at Pan Am in Miami and Las Vegas.

I keep hearing rumors of some big, massive vacancy/realignment/reshuffle/who knows bid. Hope it's not like the last "realignment" bid. Lots of guys got hosed for a long time.

Is there a way to check to see how many other possible airline names are registered to MG and group?

I guess a trademark search might work?

It just seems that a play in the playbook would be start another airline and trade stock out as in the valuejet airtran move. Wouldn't that delay vector union issues?

Could that be why a lot of sim time may be needed?

Hope not - Hang in there and Good Luck.
