The process remains relatively unchanged. It happened very quickly for me. (less than a month from application to job offer)

1. Apply online - (no job fair, no internal rec's)

2. Offered Tech evaluation (MD-80 FMS CBT), and Video interview

3. Personality survey - Very much like the Hogan test (maybe it is?)

4. Invite for an interview
Interview started at 7:30. Quick overview of the company. Two person HR interview. Questions were straight forward. They really seemed like they were trying to get to know you and figure out if you'd be happy at Allegiant. Flying skills were evaluated in a MD-80 FTD. Basic manuevers and finish with an ILS. Most of us felt like we could have flown better. After last person finished, they met and reviewed everyone's performance. They let everyone know before they left if they got the job. They whole process was completed by lunch. We had a strong group of candidates that day. Mix of 121 and military, most had 8k to 10k hours with one over 13k hours.

I didn't know much about Allegiant before two moths ago when a co-worker at my current company left for Allegiant. Once I got past the bad press, I was sure that I found an overlooked company. They have very strong financial numbers and a different business model from the legacy carriers. For me it's a good fit. A chance to upgrade measured in less than a decade, home basing (no overnights), and decent pay make it work for me. If widebody's or hub and spoke flying are your goal, wait for a cargo company or international carrier to call.

Thank you to the members here who have helped me. I'll see you on the line.
