Don't look now but they're actually investing heavy in IT.....I'm not saying they're definitely going to all overnights but I think the capability will be there whereas in the past you would have been correct....

Merlot is on its way out. Yes there will be problems implementing overnights but its coming regardless. Allegiant will adapt and fix the problems at some point. We can't have unpopular small bases paralyzed when 3 FO's leave at the same time.
The fact that management is capable of "adapt and fix the problems" is laughable - when has that ever happened? I am sure management would love to try and do more overnights but they are incapable of running that type of operations imo. Management had a monster Q4 by running a relatively clean operation. I have zero confidence in management running overnights and a more complex operation. I have the uttermost confidence that management will do whatever it takes to keep the stock high (see recent share buybacks). That is why i believe it is very unlikely we will see a dramatic shift away from day trips. |

Exactly. And from a cost standpoint overnights are incredibly expensive. That is the business model. EasyJet USA. They save tons by not having overnights. Not to mention NO ONE will stay here if overnights become a thing.

Question: Im new on this site and thinking of applying at Allegiant. A few things, trying to find out what current pay is for a new FO. Th other thing that attracts me is that there is a base where I live, so not spending a day off or day prior or after to commute is attractive. I've read some different options here. BTW, I'm at AW.
Thanks in advance for any reality answers from you guys on the line. Just finished first year and my W2 said $49,000. I did two to three TDY’s to add some extra perdiem or it would have been less. Apply for assistance or get a second job. Or better yet just apply somewhere else. You’ll thank yourself later! |

It’s easy… they take some extra reserves in Sanford and have them fly out of whatever base for a couple days.. send them home…done

What base are you interested in? It will make a huge difference the experience varies widely from one base to another. as a general rule of thumb, if it’s already a base when you’re hired, getting an upgrade there is extremely unlikely for a very long time, as in double digits years, so expect to be in fo pay for a while. If you’re willing to move to a new base, things can be pretty good here, if not, it’s a matter of time until you get frustrated and leave imo WOW. Thanks for the insight. I flew in the JS for the first time and the CA showed me a proposed pay scale, but currently I make more than a New FO here and I fly a CRJ200. I live in Nashville (BNA), and not planning to relocate. And if I don't get the as a base, makes no sense if its day trips 98% of the time. Thanks |
