TAFB is a misleading, myopic way of looking at QOL and it feeds into the "home every night" fallacy. His schedule is mostly single days off, it took him 4 or 5 months before he held 3 days off in a row. He is routinely scheduled to finish late with 10-12 hours rest and work early the next day. When you figure in his drive to work, how much is he really home? Going into his single days off he usually finishes after 2200 and his next working day has report time between 0530-0700. Ask him how many times he bids for early reports to finish early so he can do things with the family and how many times he is 3 plus hours late ruining those plans.

On reserve I was always on long call, I couldn't be touched before 1000 on day one, and if not used on final day released at 1000. Unless your next day off is flexible(only one of those a month) then you are released at 1500. There is a computerized aggressive pick up system for reserves that honors seniority. When I was on reserve my schedule never had single days off(contractually illegal) and always had blocks of 4-7 days off. I was able to trade days to improve my schedule monthly. Also we have a VDO(volunteer day off) option that is a easy way to improve your schedule and make extra money. As a lineholder its not even close! Every May I go to the Indy 500, no big deal I ended up with 05/21-06/5 off and used no vacation. Not a chance a junior guy at Allegiant could score that.

Look, I can go on and on all day long, if your battle cry is "how many nights does he sleep in his bed vs how many nights I sleep in mine." You win! BUT if you want to compare who has a better schedule, more days off, able to have a life, when I am off at home I am not a zombie, and control over/modify my schedule it's not even close.

PS
I don't have a Crashpad either. I have had to buy 3 hotel rooms this year, 1 as a lineholder and 2 as a reserve.

Absolutely vote with your feet. I hope all no voters re-double their efforts to leave, everyone is hiring. I won’t be as condescending to suggest I only saw section 3 and suggest a regional if the Legacies aren’t calling right away. Spirit and Frontier offer a fast lateral with all of those coveted work rules. Those two would snap up our ardent no voters who will undoubtedly be frustrated come the 28th. I hope you at least focus that negative energy directly towards the exit sign rather than us.

Thanks for the answers, and for being so pleasant about it! No need to be a forum Nazi. Ever heard the saying, "Things change"?

For those of us that don't work there we don't know if/when a new base may open or close. We don't know when they may assign another aircraft to a base. We don't know all the ins and outs of your crew plannings whims and where they need people every month. And incase you haven't noticed in this industry, just because it was true last week/month doesn't mean it's true now.

Thanks again though! Have a great day.

Many of us have voted with our feet. Which is one of the major reasons this TA is in front of you. So you are welcome!

If you're getting single days off and you're not the junior person in base, you really need to watch the CBI videos because you're bidding incorrectly. Seriously.... If Vegas and many single days off. It's your fault. Watch those videos.

If the man can’t stand the place because we’re so unenlightened and shortsighted, better to suggest the door. Respectfully.

Not trying to be a forum nazi. Just think it's funny how most people are too lazy to research anything and just want to be told how things are done. And to think you will suddenly know things once you work here. You're probably a millennial who expects everything to be handed to you...

I disagree about sticking it out at a regional. I'm a regional FO coming over to Allegiant soon and I'm looking forward to not being paid like a regional FO. If they supposedly count RJ SIC and MD80 SIC the same, why not make more money in the meantime, pick up another type, and escape the $h!t show that is the regional airline industry?

P.S. - I'm excited to get started!

Obviously you didn't read my reply. Asking a question doesn't imply lack of research or laziness, it implies like I said THINGS CHANGE, get it? I want the most current/up to date info available. Why do you check metars, didn't you read the TAF this morning? See my point?

Obviously you work there, and you knew the answers so I think you just disproved your own point about not knowing things by working there.

Not a millennial, far from it. You're probably a really super guy that everybody loves to be around since you never make false assumptions and are so gosh darn friendly! Have a good one.

He makes some very good points. I went to one of the "big 4" last year and my QOL is many times better than it was when I was at G4 all because of the work rules. I would much rather drive to the airport once a week and get my flying done in 3 days than have to drive there everyday. But that's just me. Our pilots with a little better pay than your TA is offering are making 350k+ all because of work rules...
