Allegiant Air Sets Up Some New Digs In Michigan And They're Hiring

February 11, 2010 at 10:50 AM | by | Comments (0)

It’s been a few months since we checked out what’s going on with Allegiant Air, and things seem to be going well since they kicked some crying kids off one of their planes. The airline is continuing to bring in the cash, and there are probably a few suits that are pumped over the airline’s increased load factor. The cheap fares and no frills service are clearly getting plenty of butts into the seats.

With success comes expansion and Allegiant is looking to bring some of the low cost love to Grand Rapids, Michigan. They already had several flights coming and going per day, but now they have formally set up a new base there. The newest flight option out of The Wolverine State is Myrtle Beach. Love it or hate it the South Carolina uh, hotspot, will be a lot warmer than things up north when the flights kick off on April 30. We’d probably still prefer one of their Florida options like Tampa or Orlando—but that’s just us.

Someone has to fly all these planes and the airline is actively looking for some new pilots. They’re promising “well-compensated positions” for flight attendants, ground crew, and customer service agents as well. If you want to deal with loud families heading to visit the grandparents and Mickey Mouse this is the job for you. We are quick to criticize, but we’re actually just a little jealous we don’t have an airline job. For now we’ll continue to watch Allegiant slowly begin to corner the market on cheapo domestic flights.
