For those that are thinking this is too bad to be true, ask anyone from our last January class (those that are still here). Ask them why it took 6-8 months to get on line, why the FAA shut down Allegiant's training department, why the archaic, badly maintained Pan Am simulators were off line for soooo long, what the quality of training was. Then go ahead and ask the peeps from our current class why there were 4 no-shows and at least 4 that have already quit.

This sounds WAY too much like my current airline...just with jets.

What sort of trip does the bli base do? How hard is it for a new hire to make it out west to BLI?

Bellingham is very senior, overstaffed, & trending smaller. Most of the pilots are locked in & not going anywhere. I would not go to Allegiant based on the ecpectation of getting based in BLI.

No, there were 4 no shows, 1 got fired, 35 still in the running (a couple are in a holding pattern til the next AB class). Another class of 20 started yesterday... AB and 757 apparently.

My bad, turns out it was 4 PRIAs that came through for the August class. Time will tell, but PRIAs have consistently preceded resignation letters around here.
