DSM base
How senior should DSM go? I currently work for a carrier that has a very small DSM presence, that makes commuting from there almost impossible. My wife wants to move back to the area, and I was thinking of applying.

Also, don't rule out another base opening at the same time as DSM. They like opening two close together lately.

Thank you!
Thank you!
If you are going to come to Allegiant you have to wrap your mind around that our schedules our totally unique. Almost all trips are day trips. They are not 3 days or 4 days. It is very likely to have lots of single days off. In a base like DSM, you could build seniority fairly quickly and do a better job of building your schedule as grouped together days, especially if you work weekends.
With that being said, yes you could get a place there and drive it. We have guys that do that. Keep in mind that am trips start between 5 and 7 am and pm trips end between 9pm and midnight. If you try to put a 3-4 hour drive before or after that, it makes for a long day.
