I have considered other airlines in the past, but really would like to join Allegiant. The day trips and being home are what intrigue me as that is what I am currently used to doing. My question is, is there anything else I can do to show how motivated I am?
I know someone who recommended a friend, high time, regional LCA. This person was shot down after the video. After the debrief, turned out he interviewed very poorly.
I don't think Allegiant has it out against high time pilots like the legacy airlines seem to, but with the stack of apps they have on file, they feel like they can be picky.
I think it's paramount to put out 100% on the video interview. They are screening out 90% of the applicants there. If you're high time, stagnant, or have skeletons in your closet, it's even more important to hit it out of the park. I know I say this here like a broken record, but anyone interested in this company needs to do some serious research into what makes us unique and have some greet reasons why you want to be part of that. Those who come in and plop their logbook on the table and request a class date are quickly sent on their way. And it's true that some high timers have severely struggled in training lately. If you have ANY airline program failures, forget it. That is disqualifying here.
