Allegiant application
#122
I applied there in 2014 and just recently reapplied. The one from 2014 says "In Process" so dont know what that really means

I assume the list of domiciles on the APC Allegiant page is accurate. My question is about the Allegiant interactive route map - https://www.allegiantair.com/interactive-routemap -
It shows the orange dots - I guess those are major 'hubs' but not necessarily domiciles... so is there some sort of relation? What would be the QOL for someone who lives at VPS?

To understand the Allegiant route map, you have to understand the Allegiant business model. The model is to take passengers from small town USA to vacation destinations. The orange dots are the vacation destinations. Airplanes (and crews) are based at the vacation destinations and fly out to the small towns and back. The limitation to that has been that there is only so much ramp space at the vacation destination, so in the larger small towns that feed multiple vacation destinations, Allegiant has opened small bases (usually 1-2 airplanes). These are locations like AVL, CVG, etc.
Many of the vacation destinations (like AUS and San Juan) are not big enough to be a base yet so they are served by other bases.
VPS and MYR are seasonal vacation destinations and are staffed with crews and airplanes that have been TDY'd from other bases. I suspect VPS will become permanent soon, but it is not yet a permanent base.

I know I say this a lot, but it really can't be stressed enough. If you want to work here, it's imperative that you research and understand our business model, and be prepared to discuss it intelligently in any interviews you may get. This is not a regular airline, and they aren't looking for pilots who applied everywhere and plan to take the first offer, or just want to get a type and move up to the legacy carriers. They are looking for people who fit. And they can afford to be picky, because right now, we have thousands of applications on file, compared to the hundreds at this time last year.
