Yes, but the problem is you'll mostly get almost every Tues and Sat OFF along with everyone else. The only variable day it seems is Wednesday, senior peeps get a bit more flexilbility but many of them commute or just aren't interested. You also can't see what's going on in other bases per our schedule software so it's hard to try and find something out of base. Maybe crew scheduled would help you with this? But I don't know I've never tried.

Hopefully in 6 months this contract drama will be behind us and we'll be on par with NKS or JB, then I'll be more than happy to invite guys over.

This too. I heard there was a guy in a similar situation in Florida that had a young family and outright refused to go out West. I'm not sure what the company response was but kudos to him!

Sorry to steal your thunder and enthusiasm. If your young and single and live in base and willing to be TDY'd for a few months until you get some seniority it's tolerable. Other than that you'll have a QOL that's horrible and you'll get burnt out. I came from a dying regional with no upgrade in sight, Ive taken a QOL hit but I'll admit the paycheck is bigger.

Allegiant doesn't pay less for fuel because they are a Ultra low cost carrier. They don't get a discount on parts for aircraft either. Why should they get a discount for their pilots? We have to get out of this mindset that we are worth less to different airlines for the same equipment. This ideology is management Jedi mind trick voodoo horse crap.
