Most in my base held out to hold CA in base. 13 of use are locked for another year. Hoping they release us when our base transitions. It would horse 💩 to have a Jr guy/gal displace us....

Per the cba you should be fine.

Anyone have any gouge for an upcoming phone interview Perhaps where would be the best place to get potential gouge? Also looking for any insight on growth for 2017 specific to upgrade times at Allegiant. Thanks

don't know too much about the interview/gouge, other than it's nothing to get too worked up about. The overall interview process at allegiant is relatively low stress and not designed to fail you. As far as I know it's simply to see if you'll be a good fit... lots of easy and practical TMAAT questions. If you make it past phone and get invited to vegas for the personal interview it's pretty much yours to loose; it's a low key, quick interview.

As far as upgrade, on the bus, it's steadily going up, and probably will continue to do so. I'm an Aug 24, 15 hire (PIT bus) and even if I upgraded on the next bid, I wouldn't receive my first captain paycheck until almost exactly on my 2 yr anniversary plus or minus a few weeks. That's still extremely fast given the industry, but I think most will agree that it's looking most likely that growth will slow and upgrade times will slowly trend more towards the 3 to 4 yr mark (that's first available btw, some bases will be substantially longer). MD-80 first available upgrades are currently at about a year and change and I imagine will always be faster than a bus upgrade. My 2 cents, but it's fairly realistic.

read over Allegiant's quarterly and annual reports for your best future growth indications, but I can already tell you, you won't like what you see; as they're on the conservative side of practical estimates (as with any growing airline).

Growth and upgrade at Allegiant will be a direct correlation to the number of cheap used airbuses available on the market. Currently, due to the 320NEO engine problems, there are almost no good deals because airlines are holding onto their old airbuses longer than planned.

There used to be one in Sanford, but I think he stepped down and they didn't fill the position.

Honest question. Has your maintenance practices improved since 2015?

I'm new (March hire). I'm on the 80. I don't see any difference between my regional gig (ev) and Allegiant as far as maintenance goes. I haven't seen more than 4 mels on any given a/c. At ev I have seen 8+
