They talked about this on the wall street quarterly earnings call. Although airframe count is down, utilization on the airbus is higher than the 80 so the net seat miles flow will still grow slightly year over year.
This hiring freeze has more to do with sim availability and increased utilization of crews now that we have a single fleet type.

I guess no one has looked at the projected 2018 headcount that was just posted....looks very good for future growth. I can understand a class or two being delayed but for the sole purpose of accommodating MD80 pilots into the training pipeline to transition.

Just looked at it. It seems to indicate a +150ish total increase from January to July 2018 (not including mgmt pilots). Hmmmm...

After seeing the projected headcount, I’d say absolutely. I have heard Jan/Feb classes might get pushed though, however, that’s right about when the SFB training center should open....that should lighten the load on the training dept significantly.

Just recieved an email from Aero Crew Solutions. Their first ever virtual job fair is on Nov 17th and Allegiant has withdrawn from it.
Allegiant Air has informed us that they will not be attending the virtual pilot job fair on Friday. The company has accelerated the retirement of the MD-80 aircraft and decided to hault hiring until next year. The recruiting team wanted to say they are sorry for the last minute cancellation.
