Rules are strictly FAR 117. No difference is made for your commute. For those unfortunate to choose to commute there is one rule that allows some flexibility. But, our "work rules" are not binding so really you have nothing to stand on.

90 minutes from point of contact to airport parking lot.
This is important to remember and reference per our manuals.
Often scheduling will call and leave a voicemail and say you have 90 minutes from the voicemail to get to the plane. That is incorrect.
Reference GOM 11-1-3-5 section K paragraph 1.
10 hours rest required. Minimum of 11 scheduled.

Edit: I haven't been "scheduled" to be less than 11 but have gotten less then 11 due to previous flight being a late return.

I haven't had to do that yet but it is nice to know that regardless of commute to and from home you can be assurred of eight hours rest.

Eh, nobody has mentioned the history of a certain key executive under your roof. I'd expect anything to limit the departure of pilots is welcomed by your employer. Stemming the flow to one of the big three at least narrows the flood gates. Not saying it's so, but consider the possibility that any perceived closed doors might swing from hinges in 702, not 404.

It's one of the more senior bases. There were some spots for new hires about 6 months ago but nothing since and little movement. This latest bid could see some movement there.

Another bad news Allegiant story out of Florida.....
Allegiant investigates rough landing, cause of deflated tires on plane from Orlando - Orlando Sentinel
Allegiant investigates rough landing, cause of deflated tires on plane from Orlando
(excerpt)
Feb 4, 2016
Allegiant Airlines officials are investigating what caused two tires on a plane to deflate Wednesday night when it landed at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Allentown, Pa.
For Allegiant officials, the incident is just another on a list of investigations stemming from safety issues or concerns that have affected flights leaving Orlando Sanford International Airport.
In December, four flights that left Orlando Sanford were diverted for mechanical-related issues, including engine troubles, an "indicator light" coming on, and abnormal smell in one plane and a problem with a de-icing system on another.
None of the 158 people aboard Wednesday's flight were injured, according to Allegiant officials, who said the plane's tires deflated after it landed.
.....
Allegiant's pilots have publicly battled corporate leaders for more than a year about the safety and maintenance schedule of its fleet. Pilots have repeatedly raised questions about the safety of the craft they fly.

Thanks for the Info! Is it safe to say that the base isn't growing much, and that career progression there would be slow?

I'm fresh out of the schoolhouse and I hold PIE. I might have lucked into it but there are a few below me as well. (80)
