It's not BS. I know a dozen guys, some with golden Astronaut-type resumes who said they would commute and didn't get the nod, and I also heard the same thing direct from the CP's mouth that does the interviews as did Beretta01.

If you want to get hired at Allegiant it's best to say you won't commute.

Regardless, think about your own happiness and sanity. This is a great place if you can live in base, but if you are going to try and commute, you might be looking at years of anger and bitterness. Who needs it?

Notwithstanding the silly argument over what the BCP doing the telephone interviews is or isn't looking for regarding commuting, I think that it is important to impress upon anyone who may be considering Allegiant that commuting to a company that flies day trips almost exclusively and can schedule half of your days off as singles is a bad idea. Doing so can make you miserable.

Being awarded a virtual base may help with this situation, but it seems yet to be determined how the contract will change the demographic of those bidding and holding the virtual base.

Regardless, if one is looking for a commuter friendly airline, Allegiant should really be last on the list.

But, if you live in base, and its one of our bigger bases, you could be a happy camper. I had 17 awarded hard days off in August which turned into 20 off.

I couldn't agree with you more..I've had similar luck in the last few months. I really enjoy the lifestyle provided by the company's business model and don't want it to change.

For me, there is no doubt that it is worth making a little less than a "real" airline to be able to have a normal person's life and not have a company (Read: some random crew scheduler or travel employee) be in control of so much of my life 24 hours a day for up to 6 days at a time. I don't ever want to go back to that.

Default Upcoming class dates

Does anyone know if they plan on running classes in October an November(dates)?
Which aircraft they might be trying to fill seats for also?
I saw the Aug class was 50/50 between Airbus and MD80.

Thanks

There are 2 august classes, another just started, I heard (not confirmed). They are supposed to be hiring around 12 per month through the year according to the company meeting last week.

There is only one new hire class of 24 and an upgrade class that happened in August.
