Looks like Allegiant is looking again, they seem to always be looking.

Allegiant's overall pay scale is garbage, plus you have to live and work in the most economically depressed city in the US right now. This is why they are always hiring.

Cost of living is low though because of the economic downturn there. Rent is dirt-cheap in LAS. There are much worse places to live. Memphis, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the NYC area come to mind. Especially on a starting dispatcher's salary.

Keep the hell outta the casinos and one could do quite well in LAS. Based solely on my limited knowledge of their operation and pay structure, I could think of many worse places to be than Allegiant.
