    Frontier Career Pilot Program

    It won't matter. Pilots will still use Frontier as a stepping stone until they get hired by the legacy carriers that currently pay better. Eventually, however, the pilots of the Ultra Low Cost Carriers like Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant will realize that their airlines are a lot more...

    Should I leave Allegiant for Frontier

    Ha ha, you just can't get anything correct, that's hilarious! Actually I work actively to make this place better and to get a strong union contract. I am involved. Like I said before, we didn't have all the hard work done for us by previous generations of pilots like you did. But once we win...

    Should I leave Allegiant for Frontier

    This fact is definitely not lost on me. We are working hard to change this. Unfortunately we didn't have all the hard work of obtaining a first contract completed by previous generations, so it's going to take some time and a lot of effort from each of us.

    Should I leave Allegiant for Frontier

    Seriously? Profit by definition is the difference between income and expense if that number happens to be positive. What you are referring to is INCOME, not profit. Allegiant was the most PROFITABLE airline in the world in 2013. In 2014 we dropped to #3 behind only Copa and Spirit. Here's...

    Should I leave Allegiant for Frontier

    Don't make any big changes until after we know about the strike. This could turn out to be a good place. Allegiant was the most profitable airline in the entire world in 2013, #2 in 2012, behind only Copa. Management has a lot to lose with a strike. I know a former Allegiant captain who took...

    Allegiant President and COO...

    I kind of wonder if he left to set up an different company, perhaps involving one of those new start ups. But with the pilot hiring environment over the next 5-8 years, that would never work. They'd never get enough pilots to fly for them unless they paid well and that isn't going to happen...

    Allegiant upgrades FO while still in new hire training

    What are you babbling about? I think I've posted maybe a dozen times over the past 2 1/2 YEARS and most of those posts weren't concerning Allegiant. This problem with so many FOs bypassing upgrade is a valid concern. And no, they aren't "holding out for the Airbus"... Those upgrades are...

    Allegiant upgrades FO while still in new hire training

    I'm assuming you haven't flown the MD-80. It's a little more antiquated than your average regional jet and can bite you if you don't have much experience flying it. Allegiant allows green on green flying, brand new captains fly with brand new FO's. To go straight into a captain position on this...

    Allegiant upgrades FO while still in new hire training

    A new hire MD-80 first officer was recently awarded a captain position at Allegiant's HOM base (perpetual TDY base) while still in initial new hire training. This has to be an industry record. Meanwhile, senior first officers are deferring upgrade by the dozen to avoid the constant TDY that...

    Jet Blue Emergency Landy - KLGB

    Turn off the engine bleed=No smoke in cabin. It's much easier to think when not in the heat of battle. Don't know if I would have thought of that in an emergency either.

    Spirit's new paint. All of a sudden I like ours a lot more

    Very smart move. It's just what Spirit management is going for, brand recognition and free publicity. Everyone who sees those airplanes will have an opinion about them, and they will remember the name of the airline who flies the bright yellow planes.

    Industry Sellouts flying Allegiant Metal while they're in Negotiations?

    I think we'll be surprised. Once the hiring really picks up at the legacy's the regionals will have to stop flying a large number of their routes due to lack of pilots. Someone will have to fly those routes, however, so that means the majors will have to hire even more pilots than they'd...

    Allegiant sub charters

    I worry that the subcontract flying goes much further than most Allegiant pilots realize. I don't think the hundreds of contracted flights are due to a sudden shortage of pilots or short sighted thinking on behalf of management. I worry that Allegiant Air's management is doing this on purpose...

    42.7% of JetBlue Pilots Have Apps Out

    And those days DO NOT have to be sequential. Reserves often have only 1 day off at a time for the entire month.

    What is your airlines sick leave policy?

    At Allegiant, you can call in sick whenever you need to and still receive 70 hr guarantee. However, if you call in sick more than 2 days in a row then you need to get a doctor's note. If you call in sick more than 3 days in a row, you must take FMLA. If you call in sick more than a certain...

    42.7% of JetBlue Pilots Have Apps Out

    I agree with this. I work at Allegiant and I have my app out. Management doesn't think there will be very much attrition but I disagree. I'm fairly senior and I plan on leaving when the right company comes calling and I know many other captains who feel the same. The "home every night"...

    Is Allegiant Airlines currently hiring?

    UEJ500 has been here 8 years, so he has no idea what it's like to be junior at Allegiant. He probably upgraded to Captain in less than a year and spent fewer than 6 months on reserve. And he probably gets 18-20 days off a month. He also gets first dibs at open time, so he probably makes...

    Is Allegiant Airlines currently hiring?

    Yes, they do it very regularly. Some pilots on reserve only get one day off at a time. And this can continue for months

    Is Allegiant Airlines currently hiring?

    Don't come to Allegiant, everybody hates it here. The new management have made this a lousy place to work. The majority of pilots are looking for jobs elsewhere.
