On repeated conference calls with investors management has said they have an excess float of pilots for the transition duration.
This will go away when a single fleet is complete. Too much training and overlap now for the lean operation they prefer.
While I don't claim to have all the answers I've seen many years of pilots planning their future here solely on present conditions. Only one thing at Allegiant remains constant and that is maximum pilot productivity for maximum profits.
The posts reflecting sitting at home on Airbus reserve and not getting called is a reflection of a temporary condition, not a lifestyle to plan on.
This is one of the best gigs in the aviation world. I'm glad to be a part of it and I'm glad many have the chance to enjoy it too. I'm just advising that things can and will go back to lean staffing. Ask anyone that has been here a while and they will likely agree.

I know that on the last few investor calls they said we are overstaffed and they also said on the last one we would be hiring about 10 a month for the foreseeable future.
Sooooo, about three weeks ago when I was in LAS, I was told we are hiring 10-11 new Bus instructors. Add to that, this month's class is over 20, next month is over 40, and they are gearing up for 30 a month for "a while."
Are they planning on serious attrition soon? If not, something doesn't add up...
