After reading all of this I'm about ready to cancel my interview with them and just take my chances with a regional!

I have an interview scheduled for 7:30 am. Any idea when to expect to be finished by? I am trying to plan my commute.

Don't pay no mind to some of these guys Rascal. You'll be done no later than noon (more likely sometime around 11)… that was just my experience.

ps… can't raise a family on a regional FO's salary guys… there's 1 reason to come here.

I would-I did the same thing with a regional a long time ago that had an unorganized HR department. I said to just remove my name from the interview--best decision I ever made.

You'll also have trouble raising a family if you destroy your career because of a violation, or you get fired for doing the right thing. Good luck getting hired after that. We have no Union protections whatsoever, a couple careers have already been ruined here. Or even worse, your involved in a fatal accident.

As an alternative, try looking for a corporate gig, if you don't mind flying a Metro I've heard of a few places in TX that are paying 80k/yr. It's tough flying and not a shiny jet, but you don't have to deal with half the BS. AMF is hard up for Captains and is paying 60-70. PSA and TSA are hiring DE CA's right now, Compass is very close to hiring DE CA's and have a quick upgrade. All of the above are a better deal than here.

Good luck to you.

I dare one of you to go onto the AMF thread & tell them you're ready to leave Allegiant & come over there for that $60-70k DEC job.....
