“We look forward to talking with you soon!”
Anyone else get an email? I applied 6 months ago and was a little surprised when this showed up in my inbox. A friend who left there recently and another who is there currently cautioned me against making a move for Allegiant. I haven’t been keeping up with Allegiant lately, so I want to see if anyone could shed some light on:
1) Growth / Aircraft orders?
2) Upgrade times?
3) Attrition?
4) Health Insurance?
5) Senior and Junior Pilot Bases?
6) Company Culture / Morale?
I know to take everything on here with a grain of salt. Just doing some research.
Depends on what your goals are. If you are coming from a regional, there is plenty of reason to come here. But, there may not be reason to stay here depending on what you are after.
Growth is slow right now and has been for the last year or so, during a time when everyone else is hiring. But we are receiving 17 airplanes this year last I heard. Upgrade times vary entirely based on what base. Each base is almost like working for a different airline.
What base are you targeting? You might be looking at a 5-10 year upgrade right now, hard to say.
