Yeah. You're right. My bad. Disregard.

 

Still a rumor?

 

Not a rumor, we got the official “resignation” email today. He’s going back to flying the line. I’ve heard MW is a great guy and quite aware of the day to day ops and what needs adjusting. Definitely looking forward to what is to come.

 

MW is a great guy. Big picture pilot advocate. Hope he lasts.

As for his predecessor, Karma is alive and well....I imagine the former Mesa guys will welcome him with open arms.

 

Heard that before about someone else.

 

I don’t think that was ever said about EG, people were scared of him in ANY leadership position let alone VP of flight ops. In fact, the only email the company ever sent us about him in his new position stated that he was to be temporary until they found someone for that role, implying that they knew he was unqualified/unfit. It seems that he was willing to say ‘yes’ to everything they wanted him to do to us pilots and he probably did it for 1/5th the price of a real VP so they kept him on longer than they should have.

 

Indeed...and MW is a nice enough guy, but he is a company guy first. He will toe the line just like everyone else...against our interests.

 

I would take a good dude that cares over some of the low life dirtbags we've suffered before. Maybe this guy can make a difference, maybe not, but i can guarantee he'll try....unless we write him off before he even starts. What incentive is there for MW to stick his neck out given some of the predispositions reflected above?

Careful what you wish for.

“We look forward to talking with you soon!”

Anyone else get an email? I applied 6 months ago and was a little surprised when this showed up in my inbox. A friend who left there recently and another who is there currently cautioned me against making a move for Allegiant. I haven’t been keeping up with Allegiant lately, so I want to see if anyone could shed some light on:

1) Growth / Aircraft orders?
2) Upgrade times?
3) Attrition?
4) Health Insurance?
5) Senior and Junior Pilot Bases?
6) Company Culture / Morale?

I know to take everything on here with a grain of salt. Just doing some research.

 

Depends on what your goals are. If you are coming from a regional, there is plenty of reason to come here. But, there may not be reason to stay here depending on what you are after.


Growth is slow right now and has been for the last year or so, during a time when everyone else is hiring. But we are receiving 17 airplanes this year last I heard. Upgrade times vary entirely based on what base. Each base is almost like working for a different airline.


What base are you targeting? You might be looking at a 5-10 year upgrade right now, hard to say.
