When I came on board (last fall) I was looking at PIE for a base. Now with all the transition happening (going 80 to airbus) st pete seems to be a bit more senior. I am VBD, and I don't bid PIE even tho coverage is always required there. Mainly bc if you are junior you will be bottom reserve.

Right now in my humble opinion SFB seems to be the base were it's not so bad.

I truly hope many of you are not basing your decisions to come here on how long you can hold a line or much less upgrade. One big thing with allegiant I learned is that it's so dynamic and growing which means very evident growing pains, and big big BIIIIG operational changes, that one has to be willing to "bite" the bullet and focus on the finish line.

I enjoy this airline, my family is still back home, I don't commute often bc it is difficult. So the family comes to me when the kids have breaks in school.

I know it won't last for ever, so I'm making the most of it. My recommendation is come here, try to commute as best as you can, but be ready and have your spouse's (family's) support and be flexible to go through a little of a trial time while you decide what your seniority can hold and where you are willing to move. Once you are living in base? yeah, you'll see. It was worth it.

Cheers
