I have a couple kids, can't imagine being anywhere else being gone for multiple days in a row. The pay scale gets better after year one. They pay for your hotel during training now, Pure reserve is not that bad if you live in base. It's September, a slow month by Allegiant standards. I haven't flown since Sept 2nd. Quality of life is something that cannot be measured. We are expanding and growing. All of the horror stories of being TDY'd for months at a time are non existent. When you are an initial newnhire you might have to worry about that for a bit, or if you are a new captain. It has its problems. If you come here thinking they don't have issues you will be disappointed. Cue the "that guy must be management" responses.
I'll back up what he's saying. I don't really see much of what these trolls are saying. I like my job. 99.99% of the time I show up to work in the morning, fly out/back and I'm home before my kids get home from school. Our MX guys are good and skilled guys who fix things and I've never had to declare min fuel because dispatch supposedly shorts us. I've had the opposite experience, plenty of good, aware and in the loop dispatchers who take care of us.
Life is good and getting better (contract will happen).
If anyone wants any information on the real life of allegiant pilots then send me a message.
