My wife however is from the Tampa (Sarasota) area and all of her friends and family are there. Here social life and said relationships are much more important to her than anything holding me here in DFW. That being said, is it completly stupid to consider coming to Allegiant at some point? Assuming a long term/retire one day from, type career move. Obviously I would want to be based out of PIE or PGD to even make it worth considering. I know this is opinion based because you would have to know what is more important to us between QOL at work vs QOL where you live, but if anyone want to weigh in feel free.
PGD is a pretty junior base for FO's, you would probably get that no problem right out of training. PIE is a little more senior but fairly large, if you couldn't get it right out of training, probably within 6 months. This all assumes of course you get the airbus. We have 2 MD80 bases left, SFB and LAS.
