I know the allure of being home ever night sounds "intriguing"....but as a junior pilot, you will not be home every night!! Whether you're FL or West Coast based.
Do not buy into the "home every night" lifestyle that is advertised by some AAY pilots. There are some "team members" that have been TDY'd 14 months straight.

Now, that’s what I call a genuine “Team Player”.

That's awful. Is that at least in the same state? Like MCO to PI or vice versa? Which is the most junior base?

Sometimes but on most occasions its been pilots from vegas and phoenix being TDYd to Florida. SFB and PGD most junior I believe.

I had an interview set up for this next week, but after much research and pondering I have decided not to take it. I just feel like staying at my current regional is better then heading over to a company in stale negotiations and the first year pay is less then I am making now as a regional fo. Plus the talk of months of tdy's wasn't what I was looking for. I just couldn't see my self going over there with no solid contract, a strike vote pending, and low pay and per diem. I wish you all luck and have met a lot of great folks that work at Allegiant.

In a perfect world, every prospective candidate would think the same as you do.
