Red face Allegiant Air?

I heard from a jumpseater that allegiant air likes hiring RJ pilots? I also heard you guys have a one year upgrade in the MD-80? Why are upgrades so quick ,is there a lot of growth? Besides Orlando, & Las Vegas, are there any other bases? Thanks?

These guys are the same retreads from WestAir/United Express. Maybe the upgrade time is low because nobody wants to stay there. I know all of the senior pilots personally and they are all pricks. IMO. Stay away unless you want to get some MD time and get out.

Falcon9,
Hiring is based on total experience, total time, face to face first impression, and whether the consensus is the pilot will make a good long term investment for the company. Currently, RJ drivers, MD-80 drivers and 757 drivers seem to be getting preference. But in the recent past, the company has hired turboprop drivers with 3-4K hours left seat time. Upgrade time is due to the rapid growth and the mindset that this airline is training captains. And yes the average time is a year to a year and a half.

Sounds like Mike734 might have interviewed and passed over...somewhat bitter don't you think? According to my husband, just about to upgrade, the top guys have their upside and downside, but more ups than downs.

Here is the pay schedule

Year FO CA
1 41 61
2 44 72
3 47 80
4 49 85
5 49 90
6 49 95
7 49 97
8 49 99
9 49 102
10 49 105


Hope this helps!

Mike734 is a MD capt at Alaska and would rather slit his wrists than even SEE the guys in the top 10 of Allegiant's seniority list! Good luck to your husband. He'll need it.

Maybe he is bitter about those payscales and that people actually think they are good.
