Hiring Instructors
Looks like they are hiring instructors, even though the transition is almost finished and they are saying no pilot hiring for the foreseeable future. Rumor is a mass exodus from the training department is about to happen because they are being told no more hotels rental cars or per diem and they have to move to base (SFB or LAS). For those who don't know, instructors here have been informally treated like a TDY base.
Not that I think instructors deserve perks the line pilots don't get just because they chose to serve in the training department. The point is why are they suddenly cutting everyone's perks in the last year. First VBD losing rental cars and long stay hotels, then line pilots having to take bottom shelf Lyft everywhere instead of LL/rental cars, now IPs losing travel options. One would think that TRAVEL is a cheap perk of working for a TRAVEL COMPANY. Being handed a hotel room and rental car to conduct company business was one of the great perks of working here versus a real airline.
Is this typical corporate greed or is something happening behind the scenes? Why are they continuing to tighten the belt and run this place like a company on the verge of bankruptcy when they continue to post impressive profits? Something just doesn't add up.

Who knows why. But if they are expecting a mass exodus and IF they’re gonna require people to live in base for instructing, then they’re gonna find themselves in quite a pickle and being forced to hire contractors for the training department.
I had thought of joining the training department, but if it’s gonna be nothing but drama, and no perks/incentive then thanx but no thanx.

I see it as business as usual. Allegiant maximizing efficiency at all angles. Nothing surprising here.

What we need is EXPERIENCED airbus peeps that do not have a terrible, combative, "I'm out to get you" or "I can prove I'm smarter than you" attitude... However we can achieve that, I'm all for it...

OK, so I'm not going to say that the AB side of training is the world's favorite... But shouldn't we want people teaching the Bus, that know the Bus? (Including the ones we currently have) I don't know a lot of them, and I am sure that they are all great people, but when I go to training I want to learn something or at least feel like the instructor knows as much (if not more) than I do. How are a bunch of new transition peeps going to help make the department better? (other than attitude)

Well put. I was referring to the general culture and personalities that would be great additions to the AB side. The AB side, for whatever reason, does have a negative culture. It’s simply frustrating to see. Some of the APD’s (not hard to know who I’m referring to) appear to harbor enjoyment out of intimidating pilots.
