What is a typical working day like at Allegiant Air?

Flexible schedules; best coworkers; home every night; good pay; wonderful benefits!

Too many base hopping senior flight attendants.

Allegiant’s schedule model works well with my life. It’s a huge plus that the airline does turns and I’m home each night. I like that I occasionally have the option to work charters that are overnights, to add variety to my schedule. I work in a base with great co-workers. We all work to help each other out, especially if some needs help covering a shift or picking up more hours. This has made the flexibility of scheduling days off one of the best things about this job. My family and I utilize the health insurance and are very happy with the coverage. The flights benefits on Allegiant are great and I’ve also taken advantage of using partnership airlines to travel overseas. Another positive for me is that Allegiant hires by base. You know where you will be based when you apply. I’m very lucky that when a based opened in the city I live in, I could take advantage of this opportunity. There are opportunities for growth.

Pay. The starting wage for new flight attendants is low. Unless you have a second job or are in a situation that you are not the main bread winner of the family, the pay is low. Before accepting a position, consider if your financial responsibilities can be met just by the GUARANTEED flight hours. There is the possibility of picking up more hours, but that should be considered the exception not the rule. Not all bases will have extra hours to pick up, so it’s important to make sure you are prepared for the reality of first couple year’s pay scale.

Great accommodations, rental car, no middle of the night training sessions

Lack of communication. You are constantly unsure what to expect. They train you like you e already flown the plane

G4 Flight Attendants are home every night and reliable to keep it that way. Being a FA for G4 is more like a day job which is really nice. The schedule is easy to work with after some seniority build up. Our most recent TWU contract has given us significant pay increases and scheduling protection. There is a small company feel amongst flight crew members as you fly with a lot of the same people often which allows you to build meaningful connections which is not normally possible at larger carriers. Upward growth into leadership positions is very attainable here because we are relatively small and it’s easy to get ahold of management to develop a relationship.

This is a low cost carrier and it shows up in a lot of ways in the Inflight group. Inflight Management changes often which leads to less consistency in expectations. Ultimately this means that the work group is usually left fending for themselves when they really need the support of leadership. Our inflight tools are mediocre at best (POS iPad, inflight sales items, uniform pieces, medical emergency tools, etc). We work with what we got but often are left wanting and feeling like we are not valued enough to be provided with basic functioning equipment. As long as you don’t let those daily annoyances bother you, you’ll be fine! It’s a great company to work for as long as you don’t let the things I mentioned bother you much.

I loved the family environment that was built within our work group. The flight benefits for airlines so you can travel end enjoy life. Bring home every night
