3. No contract, ever...

Is #1 the visit Florida livery?

With the amount of money that allegiant is making these days to pay the pilots such deplorable pay rates is criminal.

By taking employment with such a ****ty airline only exacerbates the problem low wages and benefits.

What's with the multi day pairings in December?

While it doesn't include an overnight in my base, they are forcing us to work weekends by making a trip on Friday "multiday" with another trip the next day. So you can't just fly the CID turn on Friday, you have to now pair it up with another trip on Saturday.

Not sure I see why this makes any sense at all.

Are there specific bases that do the TDY assignments? Is it every month or just on rare occasion?

It's generally every month, and whichever base they think is "overstaffed."

My guess is the "home every night" claim they have will be ending sooner than later.
