I was contemplating wether I should continue to try to get on with Allegiant or just end up commuting with my regional since I have a line, go to a job fair and wait for Spirit or hopefully Frontier. My wife is pregnant and we are hoping to move to Orlando so we can have family support.
I think the fact that I'm at the end of the hiring wave, along with SFB not being junior may have changed by mind about applying. I was at the end of the hiring wave at XJT and even with their work rules, it has been difficult going down in seniority and being on reserve for nearly 2 years. I don't think I could handle several months of forced TDY.
not sure who told you we are at the end of the hire wave at allegiant. We will be hiring 30 to 40 a month for the foreseeable future. IF anything those rates will likely increase with the legacies continuing to need more pilots. The only thing that will possibly slow hiring at allegiant a bit would be a decent contact for the pilots. Even then the growth is not slated to stop. I think even to the financial world Allegiant has said to expect 15% year over year growth until further notice
