Telling people to stay away from Allegiant is like trying to tell that kid that wants to see the cockpit not to become a pilot. They think you're crazy.

Then they see the light after it's too late.

We're not trying to be the cranky captain that you think is delusional. We're just trying to be up front about what you're about to sign up for.

I've been here for years and I can honestly say it's like flying for a cheap Part 135 outfit that skimps on maintenance, pays poorly, gives you no support and then looks for any reason to get a crew in trouble when a mistake happens.

If you make a mistake you will get sent to headquarters to be sat in front of a panel of strangers and your bosses, all of whom will interrogate you and second guess every thing you've done. They will ask if you gave the flight attendants a SCREAM briefing before the flight. They will interview the First Officer and Captain individually to try and intimidate you. They will go through all the paperwork and try and find any mistake you may have made. If you think I'm exaggerating call anyone who works here and ask.

Would you leave your regional for a sketchy Part 135 place that paid the same hourly rates as Allegiant? I understand most come because regionals pay dirt wages, but consider my question before making the jump.
