I would love to live in Austin, TX. What’s the likelihood to get AUS out of training? Do you think I should stick with SkyWest waiting for a spot in IAH? My goal is to move back to Texas to be close to our family members.
Thanks!

First off, thank you for your service.
I think the way to approach your situation is ask yourself, do you HAVE to be based in AUS? If the answer is yes, and you can live with the much lower 1st year pay, live with maybe commuting to Flint or Provo for possibly a year or more while you wait for AUS, and live with the understanding your AUS base might close at any time - come on in and Allegiant is fortunate to have you!
Otherwise - lot’s of airlines with IAH/DFW bases are gonna be falling all over themselves to hire you. Go to Skywest while you figure out which airline to make your career choice.
