Minimums are 3000, but what's actually competitive? With a flow through, we already know the answer.

3000TT people are getting hired.
Honest question, has anyone used the preferential hiring to get hired there? |

The Allegiant preferential interview agreement, with higher minimums than Allegiant is advertising for a street application.

I have a buddy who has been trying to get in touch with the CP for months now to get his application in to Allegiant with no luck. He is unable to apply like anyone else would, so he is stuck. Higher minimums than Allegiant is even looking for on their own website. Plus I have to wonder how much of a conflict of interest it is to be hurting for pilots, and further reducing the pilot population at AMF by sending them to Allegiant...
Regardless, the minimums AMF lists for the recommendation are designed more to keep a pilot around here for a certain minimum time and not so much that Allegiant requires it. And that also addresses to the "conflict of interest" question. A big part of the program is to give guys an incentive to stay here rather than jumping to the regionals as soon as they can. And so it isn't a matter of "reducing" the pilot numbers at AMF but in fact trying to keep guys here for 1-2 years longer. |

Not that it matters, but I'm curious why he wouldn't be able to apply like anyone else without the endorsement.

It didn't slow attrition down at all, at least that was the case when I left a few months back. Heck, something like less than 25% of the pilot group is even qualified for it, IIRC. It's nothing more than a marketing gimmick to try to get fresh blood in the door. If it was a flow through, it would make it at least somewhat attractive to stay and endure the crap sandwich. |

To address your second statement, the guy that I am referring to has been with AMF over 4 years. Several attempts to get the ball rolling between AMF and Allegiant has failed, and he has tried since the program was announced. |

So its in the interest of the company, not the employee. Color me shocked. It looked good on paper when it was first announced, but as soon as Allegiant dropped their street advertised minimums to ATP minimums, it became a farce. Especially when people were leaving and being asked, if you stick around 6 more months can we interest you in the Allegiant deal? You want someone to walk away from a job they've presumably been offered for a shot at an interview at a carrier that appears on the surface to be nothing more than Ameriflight in the 121 world with jets?

I am not at AMF so you would know more than I would, but from what I understand the agreement between AMF and Allegiant stipulates that an AMF employee cannot apply to Allegiant, the company has to submit your resume to Allegiant.

That I hadn't heard. But if it is true, I can definitely see your point.

I asked around about if that was true or not before I left, and I couldn't get a firm answer one way or another from anybody I asked.
