Virtual Base?
I am interested in Allegiant for the prospect of eventually being home every night, but I am not going to be in a spot where I could pack up shop and move to one of the bases for another year or two.
I am thinking about the virtual base option until then but the only info I can find says that you can be based anywhere and they buy you one space-A roundtrip ticket per month.
Do they pay for your hotel where they domicile you for the month? On average how many off days do you get between your on days? If they do provide your hotel, what are some actual examples of hotels they put you in?
Thanks in advance...

Yes, hotel, one round trip positive space ticket, and per diem are provided each month. You are placed within the seniority of the base that you are in that month for the schedule bid. You are guaranteed to have 6 non-isolated days off. That requirement can be met with 1- 6 day stretch, a 4 day and a 2 day , 2- 3 days, or 3- 2 days.
However, VBD is fairly senior right now. The most junior FO on VBD has been here over 3 years. You will probably hold whatever Base you want before you hold VBD.
