You have to have language for at least 5 a month. The only way to get around this is to send all the airplanes out of Vegas on Friday night, fly outside turns on Saturday, then fly back to Vegas on Sunday morning. You get to spend a nice 3-day every weekend in North Bumfuq, Idaho but hey, you don't have to do single days off. There's only so many flights to work with, which do you want - single days off or 3 day trips every weekend?

Back when we had line bidding single days off went on the junior schedules....same no fly saturdays...

I did a quick survey to some of the pilots I know around the company and out of 25 pilots I asked 21 are going to vote yes for sure, of the other 4 three are no and 1 undecided. Small sample group but I think it's gonna pass by 60-40 margin easily. Maybe even more than that.

Are new hires still able to hold LAS on the -80 out of training?

New Hire

Question - Does anyone in the know have an idea whether there is a specific multi or jet time requirement for Allegiant, other than just having an ATP? What if someone had 3000 hours of rotary plus several hundred SEL, and less than 100 hours of multi?

Currently paid hotels in training. I believe they went to 70 hour min pay for training vs the old 2000 a month.

TA reserve min is 72 pay 53.80

Thanks for the information, I do appreciate it.

Not sure about the 117 rules for hours, but you probably would be competitive if you had a couple thousand hours in a jet from a place like mesa
