Typical flying schedule
Would someone care to share a typical daily flying schedule, say out of LAS or SFB? How many legs do you fly in a day? Average flight times per day? How many days of flying per month? I imagine this might apply more to the smaller bases, but are there certain days of the week where there aren’t any flights on the schedule? Thanks.

FAR limits
8 days off a month
Flights are 7 days a week.
Hope this helps

Would someone care to share a typical daily flying schedule, say out of LAS or SFB? How many legs do you fly in a day? Either 2 or 4. Average flight times per day? 5-6. The more senior the more hours/day you can bid for, so you fly less days/month. Like everywhere else. How many days OFF per month? 12+,
the more senior the more days off. Like everywhere else. I imagine this might apply more to the smaller bases, but are there certain days of the week where there aren’t any flights on the schedule? See previous replies. I've also heard the Bus will be flying 7/wk Thanks.

Allegiant has a home grown PBS system that is the worst software ever to be written. Our contract specified that a legitimate PBS be put in place. The company is fighting tooth and nail against this implementation even though they agreed to the timeline in the contract. Our current CBI violates seniority with every bid.
With that being said, we bid monthly. Initial awards are for regular line, composite line, and reserve line. On the initial award, regular line holders and reserve line holders receive their schedule. There is then a 4 day Schedule Adjustment Period, where regular line holders only can add and occasionally drop days from Open Time. After SAP, the composite schedules are built from the leftovers.
