Driving to work instead of a 3 hr commute to NYC sounds fantastic, especially with a newborn at home who needs bonding with her father.
Besides that, if anyone has any new/recent information on the phone interview, that'd be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks guys.
Coming to Allegiant with a newborn is about the worst decision you could possibly make. Just ask the several fathers and the 3 new moms who left for other carriers (carriers that have overnights) so that they could actually see their children.
"I live near a junior base" ....everyone says this. Several of us have commented on here that this doesn't matter - they will send you anywhere they feel like it (or maybe even just close your base?!) - but nobody seems to listen. And no offense to the couple of new guys, but they haven't been here long enough to see how many people have involuntarily been displaced.
