I've found the new hires lately to be great. It's funny how people are questioning the current batch of new hires, when in the past allegiant hired people from Grand Canyon Airlines who probably never saw a cloud before. Most of our new hires have a few years at a regional and are very sharp.

I don’t want to bash all of our new hires. If you get through G4 Airbus training (not easy) & make it to the line that says a lot. For sure. Everyone I’ve flown with can fly the plane & make a safe landing. No issues there. I probably should have said that I see a difference in SOME of our new hires’ ATTITUDES & left it at that vs. pointing out the little new-guy stuff.

My only complaint about new hires is the ones who were sold a bunch of BS by the recruiters and came here with unreasonable expectations about bases, being home every night, reserve, and what it's really like to work here. They're miserable to fly with and it makes a for a long day. Everyone says I'm too negative here but I try to keep it real so that anyone who comes here knows exactly what they're getting into. If you make that choice I don't want to hear you b1tchin' because you didn't do your research.

Many of the new hires are far more comfortable in the AB than a lot of the senior pilots were during the transition from MD to AB…

It’s taught the airbus way though and that can be confusing and it’s time consuming. The pilots G4 puts on the line are some of the most prepared in the US though.
