Hi everyone.

So, after reading through the vast majority of the 295 pages of this thread, I'm still not entirely sure how the basing works at Allegiant. People (not on reserve) were home every night, and now they are not? Or, is that incorrect? How does TDY work?

I've read through this thread over large, spread out periods of time.

Thanks, and clear skies.

TDY at Allegiant-

"Hey, Mr. Colonials? Yeah ahhh, you are getting shipped off to LAX, May 31-September 15. Single days off, no chance to commute home. You'll have a microwave and mini fridge. But hey, these are good problems to have, all is well!"

Thanks, do you know if you will know the aircraft before class starts? Makes a big difference to get on the wrong fleet with a non commutable airline.

To be honest, I'm not sure. My best guess is you won't know until class starts how many slots there will be in each aircraft. Then your class will bid on the open slots. Perhaps someone hired within the last year would know better if you know before training. I am not in the training department, nor do I talk to anyone that is. So I am not sure what the upcoming classes will be getting.

First two classes in Jul and Aug will be a split of AB and 80. Possibility of 75s later in the year. The older you are, the better your chances...if you have any other questions, PM me if you want.

That data is predicated on info from "Revision 3" and probably should be considered erroneous.

All's I know is we're short-staffed in the 80s...CAs are being called-in to jerk gear quite often!
Oh, don't forget the AVL 80 base!
