Looking for info on the senority of domiciles coming out of training. I understand that this is not a commuters airline to work for. Dont mind moving the family but need to get some solid info. Thank you in advance for the help. Looks like age is important so I am 45 if that helps.

 

Thanks! On the AB or 80 out of SFB?
40 yrs old

 

Yes, have ID90 and myIDtravel benefits. Almost all carriers except delta. The number of days of employment to be eligible varies by carrier.

 

45 would more than likely put you in the top 5 spots within class but obviously if you get unlucky with an older class that could change. Florida is very common, all bases but not necessarily the plane and the base you want. With the movement you can bid the plane and eventually get the base. The company is going all Airbus in the next few years so if you are ok with flying the 80 for a bit you will eventually end up on the bus. I always tell people that ask about this place if you are not happy with being at any of the bases on any of the planes I would not come here. VBD is a fun dynamic in the mix as well. That can be good or bad if you live near the most common VBD bases you can make some extra cash and VBD upgrade is usually the quickest amongst all planes/bases. Being 45 you will more than likely get your choice as long as it's offered. OAK is very unlikely. BLI, CVG, PIT and IWA are/getting full so that leaves Florida and Las Vegas. No Airbus in Las Vegas and 75 is senior in Vegas leaving only the 80 as an option. Like any airline, it's a crap shoot.

 

See my previous post. 40 is a good chance of getting what you want....if it's offered. Some classes just don't have the options and then the very next class has exactly what you wanted. The gamble is do you want to take the plane you want and eventually get into the base or go straight for the base? I went plane then base but I live with in callout of 2, almost 3 bases.

 

What equipment is the quickest upgrade right now? Might go for equipment, upgrade then see what domicile I can get that is movable.

 

Latest bid showed Airbus upgrade as a 9/14 hire. Just depends on growth but normally the 80 VBD is the quickest due to the movement out of that position.

 

I'm quessing this vdb is automatic out of training?

 

It is an option to bid and it goes junior for obvious reasons. There was a whole class of 10 recently that all got it except 1 person.

 

These are basic questions that have probably been answered many times. I have looked back 10-15 pages but haven't seen it.

Questions: with Allegiant, how many days per week are you "typically" flying considering no layovers? Are they typically 2 or 4 sectors per day if you fly out of Florida (PIE, SFB or FLL)? Lastly, if you live in Florida, what percentage of your trips are non-scheduled trips?
