I've been following this thread for a while and it's mostly convinced me not to touch this place but a while ago I got the call (using the shotgun approach to resumes) and now I'm considering it. I know, I must be crazy...

Here's my deal, I'm a forever FO at a regional that's losing flying and I've been "2 years away from upgrade" for 6 years. I really don't have much to set my resume apart from the sea of other RJ FOs as evidenced by only Allegiant calling.

So I guess here's my question, is this place worth going to for a type rating? Is it realistic and/or are people using Allegiant as a revolving door to head to better places? I heard from a friend that his buddy spent 6 months there, hated it and then went to a major. Yeah, I know, one anecdote does not make a good reason to go to a place like Allegiant but I do think an A320 type would set me apart to the likes of Delta, United, etc.

Also do you guys have ASAP?

Thanks
