Anyone who contributes to their 401k, how do the rules work (not in the work rules that I can find) for the 5% contribution. Today's paycheck leaves me 80 dollars short on the company contribution. Past paychecks don't show company contribution at all.

 

Call Fidelity on the phone. I have always gotten the best answers through them directly.

 

It's not consistent with the matches. They will "true up " the difference though the following year.

 

Most of my family lives in Florida nearby Allegiant's bases, so I am interested in the company despite the negative attention given to it by the media lately. I am a 2000 total hours 121 FO with several jet type ratings working previously in 135 freight, air ambo and charter; also have a Bachelor's degree. I am wondering how competitive I am and what I could do to improve my chances of earning an interview? Sadly I do not have any turbine PIC, so I hope the company is not currently putting hefty amount of emphasis on that checkmark.

 

They will not DH you to a trip you pick up from open time. You're on your own to get there and you pay for any hotel that you need yourself.

 

I'm sorry, but at 2000 tt you are not competitive. You'll become competitive much closer to 3000 tt.

 

Non-commuting applicants, IMO, will "trump" the flight time now. I had a recommended, qualified applicant, who didn't get hired. He made it clear he'd be commuting and that the interview board had concerns about that and if he'd be willing to change his mind. So, apply, go to a meet and greet and let them tell you TBNT.. Good luck.

 

How many actual inflight emergencies have you declared?

Are you familiar with the ASAP program?

Make sure this makes it on to your resume...

 

No more dual boarding on the MD-80? I hope someone didn't hurt themselves.
