You are going to have to sell them on why they should stay at their regional. In their mind it can't possibly be worse than their regional.

 

Haha. Joke's on them!

 

We had a couple guys recently leave Envoy for Allegiant because it was going to be awesome being home every night. Hmmmmm, somebody hasn't done their homework I see..... It gave me a good chuckle anyways and hopefully I move up a couple of numbers

 

Scene 1:

Operations (panic, screaming, papers flying): "We can't get people to come to class…let's brainstorm! (long pause, buzzing sound) Here's an idea…pay them!…and cover the hotels!" Yes, yes, that will fix it!…

Scene 2:

Clueless bean-counter (robotic tones): "What?!? These outrageous costs?! Not in our DNA!! Cut costs, cut costs! We must shorten training time...in half!!. Yes, yes, perfect...that should fix it! MG will be pleased, yes, pleased he will be with me!"

Scene 3:

FSDO (laughing, mixed with expressions of disbelief): "Wait,…what??" Bust,…bust,…

Scene 4:

Operations (still screaming): "Our failure rate is unacceptable! We must hire more fodder to cover the training losses. Hire more victims!"

Scene 5:

Classes of 50, in complete disbelief, suddenly realizing that everything they read was true and they have 5-6 days to learn the MD-80 systems before facing a TYPE RIDE WITH A FED.



Welcome to being different.

 

Perhaps allegiant wants new hires to get pink slipped on the oral or check ride. Once that happens they own them because they are not going to get hired somewhere else anytime soon if ever.

 

Yeah because Envoy is the place to be.

Let's talk about their training department shall we? Let's see where do I start....I know the ABC's

 

Something’s Afoot…

 

Allegiant Travel Company Announces the Resignation of Andrew Levy President and Chief Operating Officer - Yahoo Finance

Hmm...that's interesting!

And yeah, it was 5 days for systems class!

 

Congrats, I’m assuming everything went well for you? What did you think of all the chasing “Good-Gouge” crap? Keep in mind this airplane has been around since Howard Hughes, and operated by G4 for over a decade.

 

Bye, Lorenzo 2.0! Glad all of our hard work could make you so wealthy. Sign a prenup next time!

His total compensation for 2013 was $5.2 million. Gary Kelly's was just over $4 million to run a company with 17 TIMES the revenue of Allegiant. Yeah, we're different all right.
