If you want to hide behind "I'm not a test pilot" fine. All aircraft performance numbers were demonstrated by company pilots. If they're not safe, take it to the FAA/Boeing. You should probably limit yourself to half weight, half crosswind, and double the amount of runway needed. Where does it end? If someone isn't comfortable with the performance of the airplane, maybe they're not ready to be captain.
I mean everyone is just a line pilot, not test pilot. I believe I can operate Flight Sim within the performance limits though so I'm good.
@EagleATR- don't worry about the dispatcher calling you names, your airplane does it for you. Yours is different though. You had numbers that said otherwise. The ROA case was about being comfortable.

You have no idea how many times we've flown questionable aircraft into questionable conditions. How often dispatch here is negligent. How much internal fortitude it takes to stand up against the amount of pressure they put on you here. Yet there you go pushing your case time and again.
Either you're from another airline and actually are a dispatcher or pilot and you decided to add your two cents again and again to a company you have no concept of or you are a part of the machine here at Allegiant. Either way I don't find you nearly as important as you do.

The current class is 35 remaining, mostly -80. We paid for lodging initially, the company has backed off a little though. Looks like MIA and LAS new hires are both getting hotels w/ rental cars for sim training. We're also on full 70 hr guarantee as well from day 1, no PD.

Allegiant- For line holders and reserves: what is the average monthly credit for each? Is it normal to exceed the 81 hour threshold, or does the company avoid that so as not to pay "overtime"? How many are awarded less than guarantee?
