Executive pay is definitely out of control.

It can't be ignored any longer.

I don’t see it as a negative. If we disagree that’s fine. Because what we have done is perfectly legal and within our rights. However it’s viewed by management is their problem. I see our primary audience as the other stakeholders; the FAA, the investors and the public. Our overlords in the FAA are garden-variety political bureaucrats, sensitive to public scrutiny and sentiment.

By simply standing in unison, poker faced in partial uniform as one; or even the threat of doing so, makes a lot of folks nervous. Reference a current ugly event, nobody would like to mention. And you have a lot of weak-kneed faa types trying to get ahead of the next disaster.

Will Allegiant hire pilots with no degree?

Allegiant will hire you if you are breathing and can identify an MD-80 two out of three times.

And if you are willing to cross a picket line, they consider that almost an automatic hire.

Default FAA Scrutiny

I heard one of the maintenance inspectors asked the crews for their license and medical only to find the FO doesn't have a type rating listed on his license. I guess While every other American carrier was typing FO's a year ago, G4 wants to wait until the January 2016 deadline.

I didn't think that applied to anyone after August of 2012.

New hire FO's have to be typed initially, current employee FO's do not.

We didn't start full typing FOs till the August '13 class. And that took 6 months or more as they had to send everyone out to get the type because we couldn't do it in house yet. Every 80 FO hired before that and the first few AB FO classes are SIC only on their cert. Clock is ticking and I haven't heard anything solid about how they're going to take care of this.

So when was this particular FO hired? It looks like all the AB FO's on the April assignment list for that base were hired well after August 2013.

This is second hand but the FO with the issue didn't even have an SIC type. In fact, he had no mention whatsoever of AB on his license. But I guess as long as the company can show you went through training for that plane it's all good, until January.

So after already getting spanked over their record keeping, they now get another gimme?

I guess enough money thrown around can buy anyone...FAA, Federal Judges, etc.
