I'm in the same boat! They're not delta they'll let us know one way or another. "No News is Good News"

I’m in the same boat as well. Anyone who has been hired have any idea how long to expect between the video interview and an offer to interview in person?

I submitted the online application for Allegiant Air 2 days ago and this morning received an email notifying me to apply again in 6 months. I meet all the requirements as listed on their website. I have 5,700 total time, 2,600 PIC turbine, 800 SIC jet from my previous 121 (B737).

Now here's what I'm thinking may be the major reason: recency. I've been out of the cockpit for over a decade (had to leave work to take care of my son and his health issues). So 1.) I have no recency (except for a little recreational GA) and 2.) I'm a lot older (44).

My ultimate goal is to get on with Allegiant and based out of BLI. If recency is the main reason for my rejection at this point, would it be best to get back into the commuters to build time (uhg)? Or would any time work, ie: local island hopping, corporate ops (mostly light twins).

Any thoughts, opinions?
Thanks!

From the look of things, in-person interviews are being conducted with the specific intent of filling the set classes. There doesn't appear to be a 'pool' of candidates that have successfully interviewed.

I suspect that once 2020 classes beyond the first one in January are set those who have done the video interview, but not the in-person, will start to get invited in.

I'd much prefer to be waiting at that stage than what happens to poolies at other companies.

Has anyone interviewed lately? I submitted the video about 3 weeks ago haven’t heard anything. Still says interview stage on App.

The safest bet is to just go to the regionals for a few months and get current. With online applications you never know, so I’d go to a spot you wouldn’t mind spending a bit of time at.

While it sounds like you have a nice resume, being out of the cockpit for that long is a big issue for any LCC.

Are they planning on running anymore Meet and Greets for the rest of the year?

Flight Ops has been sending regular updates on hiring, fleet updates and other good stuff every ~3 weeks. Last one was on Sept 26th so I'm assuming next week we'll hear again from them.

Where does someone find those updates? On their website? Thanks

It's an internal company wide email.
It usually doesn't take very long for relevant info to appear either on the forum or on the APC airline profile.
