I would love to move to FL, used to live in DAB area. Anyway, but now I am living in a different continent. Flying 744 and have about 3500TT and 0 PIC.
Anyway, I read some of the posts and I know that commuting is not the best option when one is coming to Allegiant. However, is the flying schedule is always 1-2 round trips from base airport? How does the 11-12 min days off usually get broken off. 1 day on 1 day off most of the time? Do you guys have layovers ever?
APC page mentions Pittsburgh as a base, how big is it and what kind of equipment is based there- MD80 or AB? How senior is it? How about PIE? Do bases open and close often at Allegiant? Is living about 3 hours drive from a base a good option? Don't need to be home every day. But once in a while.
Thank you
If they want to say TBNT, they will. Maybe they think something is incomplete, or want you to get a little bit more time before bringing you in. Keep updating, and you might get the invite for the MD80 CBTs and video interview shortly.
Trips depend on base. Some day trips are out and backs, some involve three or four legs. The tendency tends to be, more legs, more junior. The only layovers that we see are the result of mechanicals at outstations, or occasionally on charters, but are very rare.
Tuesdays and Saturdays tend to be slow days, but still some flying and some reserves those days. The days off seem to vary by base, but some people bid to have multiple blocks of consecutive days off, but again, can be difficult with Tuesday/Saturday schedules.
The day trips, tend to make commuting difficult. Some do it. Some choose VBD, which allows them to collect per diem and a hotel/rental car and "live" in various bases each month. Most tend to appreciate the QOL that goes along with driving to work, and being home each night. Living 3 hours away makes for a long drive to and from work during day trips, and expensive if you need to get a hotel or crash pad.
PIT is an Airbus base, generally fairly junior.
PIE is both Airbus/MD80, but will all airbus by the end of the year for sure. Not super senior, not super junior.
