Thanks. Obviously united would be ideal, and I plan on applying there once I finish my CA upgrade in a couple of weeks in addition to Allegiant. I’m realistic though and know there’s a lot of good applicants out there so just keeping my options open.

Yeah, really, No Offence, (I am NK myself), but how many people have to choose between allegiant or United.

Usually those people who have to choose come to Allegiant first and then get hired by United.

How about guys "qualified" for UAL but want to watch their kids grow up and not be gone half the month for the next 20 years...

It's always funny when people act like getting hired at United etc is so easy. The UA board has plenty of people with amazing resumes and internal recs who can't even get an email invite for the Hogan, much less pass that crazy thing and the subsequent interview.

Yes I chuckle when someone says why don’t you just goto (insert X, Y, Z.. legacy here)?

Many of us are hustling, even at an AA wholly owned with flow to make that next step sooner than just waiting it out for your number to come up.

Keep chasing that legacy... I’ll just sit here making $2142.85 per block hour flown as a first year FO... nothing to see here

2nd or 3rd yr FOs making 13K a month hustling just a lil bit but still home every night is not uncommon. It’s a great gig. Love it.

I'm still on year two pay and fairly junior in my base, I've broken the 10k line four of the six months this year and could have been five but had vacation and worked a little as possible.

Not Legacy pay, but in the last year and a half, I've spent two nights in a hotel (not counting training). I'll take that all day long...

Yep definitely possible to make those numbers. The best for me still is living close to base, bidding reserve and getting called in once, if that.
