I used to work there. Left in Sept 07. Kinda wish I was still there. Some think it is a bad airline cause it does not fit the normal mold. Most of the employees have a good and positive attitude unlike a lot of places I have seen.
As for hiring I talked to someone still there and they said all new hires are heading out east. Vegas has stood still for movement as of late. It may take a few months to get back there. Those that live in Vegas love it! When i left the only overnights were Bellingham and Peoria, IL.
I think they are still getting a few airplanes but not 100% on that. Financially they are actually doing OK. Stock prices have dropped a bit, but the route structure and extremely high load factors keep them going with the high fuel prices.
Best of luck to you. As long as you meet the published mins you have a chance.
