Some mil guys are beating the offers off with a stick, others still have some more work to do to get to that point and Allegiant provides that compared to a regional. Telling someone to wait for a call is no different than telling someone to leave Allegiant and wait for a better offer. Stick to providing advice about company specifics and hold off on the rest. Truce?
Again, this isn't an RJ thread so you can hold the attitude, were all on the same team.
I know plenty, 2200TT is very competitive for a mil guy and we both know it's not the same as 2200TT on the civilian side. When I made the original posting I did make some assumptions. One, that the OP would be smart enough to network and start applying before getting out of the military. Obviously, getting a call from SWA isn't easy, but he's definitely competitive and you also ignored that I mentioned Spirit as well. It's also not easy to get on but he's even more competitive for them I would think. Granted I don't know exactly what he/she has been flying in the military either, I'm sure IP experience would go a long way as well. But Allegiant should definitely be the back-up plan to either of those places, not the first choice.
You like to attack people that don't love Allegiant. You say we're all telling falsehoods, please point out where? Nothing I've posted has been fabricated. You said yourself you haven't been TDY'd? That means there is a whole 'nother side to this company you haven't seen. The TDY situation has improved slighty, sure, but it's still a BIG issue here. The fact remains there are guys that have spent 6 of 9 months (or more) involuntary out of base. I could go on and on about the many other issues but that horse has been beat already.
And yes, truce, I have no desire to fight. I just call it as I see it.
