I did the video interview about a week ago and just got the TBNT email. Try again later, I guess.

Save yourself by embracing that you're not working there

Allegiant told the FAA that for the 15 months ending in March, its 50 McDonnell Douglas planes — including DC-9s and MD-80s — had 50 unscheduled landings, five emergency descents and eight aborted takeoffs. (Michael Fiala/Reuters)

The FAA looks very seriously on aborted takeoffs. Allegiant claims that it's the pilots that abort hastily and without real cause. But I say that when you work for an airline who's CEO (30% owner and over 4MIL in dividends paid to self) who greedily needs his planes to fly at all (or no) cost, I would abort takeoffs with haste too I think. I should not trust that the plane is mechanically or even chemically sound. At any rate, good luck Allegiant aviators. And please move on to a safer outfit with haste.

They don't have the Chemtrail feature installed on the other fleets, just the 757? I thought I was making a difference....

Default Interview

Who is on the interview panel at the in person interview?
Is there separate interviews one with HR and one with Pilots?

Thanks

I went last week. I had Ernie and Ashley for my interview. There were two other pilots interviewing others. We had 10 so each group did 5 interviews. They were amazing. Very laid back. They just want to see your personality and if you would fit in. Most do. I would guess it's a 90%+ hire rate. After all the video and phone interviews, if they invite you to Vegas it's your job to lose.

I'm not arguing for the company but many of our aborts and air returns were completely preventable. It's a training issue in large part, we need to have a day in training where they tell you things like "loss of EPR on takeoff should not require an abort." There's plenty of instances where it is warranted but they do a crappy job of training everyone.
