The word on the street from Allegiant pilots is not great, and things are going down hill fast unless your management. As far as the union goes, the pilot group offers things and the counter offer is NO from the company?
15-20 sounds way high but these are 20+ year-old old-school 1960's design airplanes that need lot's of babying.
In 3+ years yesterday was the first time pay was late, by one day.
If you're on reserve you could get sent to another base for several days. You'll get a ticket back at the end of your stint; the jumpseat rumor is b.s.
The work rules stipulate after 4 hours waiting at the airport you get a hotel.
Growth is slow and upgrade times are becoming much longer. And pay now lags industry standard by quite a bit. The contract is going take a long time to work out.
Take to heart what has been written: don't apply unless you really want to live in Florida, maybe for several years.
