Its cool, I got 2 career-positive CJOs out of the job fair and took one of them, so I'm good
My point was that I'm not sure if there are unlimited document uploads... And I admit I'm being a bit snarky about what I was told at the job fair, but it struck me as either an unreasonable assumption about Allegiant's hiring leverage, or a hint that they didn't want me working there, ever. At the risk of hijacking the thread with a stupid story that doesn't matter to anyone but me and a few dozen friends who are in a similar career situation as I am...
Telling a mil pilot with 2500 fighter/instructor hrs to "get 500 hrs anywhere but here, then update your resume" just because he spent a few yrs flying RPAs, and then expecting him to come back to Allegiant, doesn't seem to be a realistic appraisal of the state of the industry. At the very least, that certainly isn't the path *any* of my peers have followed. They've generally flown their 500 hrs then signed on with a Legacy. I don't take it personally since hey maybe Allegiant sitting on a stack of premium 5000 hr applications, but I do think it shut the door to that particular career path option quite firmly.
As I said, I got a CJO I'm quite happy with and I'm excited to get hired by a company that seems happy to bring me onboard. I can't see any better way to start out than that so things are quite rosy on my end. Contract smrontract, we're all getting new contracts in the next year or two, right?
And finally, I have friends who fly for Allegiant and they love how the business model and scheduling enhances their QOL. So I'm not trying to talk any of that down either. Just wanted to clarify, not complain, since I've got nothing to complain about
