Flying with Allegiant VA

Membership

To join Allegiant VA you need to:

• Be at least 16 years old.
• Have an operational copy of MSFS 2020, MSFS2024, or X-Plane 12
• Have a VATSIM account in good standing with verifiable hours logged. We check your VATSIM ID against VATSIM's public records when you apply.
• Complete the application and confirm your email address. The confirmation link is valid for 48 hours, and applications that are never confirmed are removed after 7 days.
• Choose a crew base with an open seat. Each base has a limited number of pilot positions, and full bases can't be selected.
• Agree to follow our operating policies and community guidelines.

Staff review applications, usually within a few days.

Your Pilot ID and Seniority

Upon approval, you will receive a unique, four-digit pilot ID. The date your application is approved becomes your official date of hire, which establishes your seniority. Seniority determines the order in which trips are awarded, base vacancies are filled, and displacements are handled. Your pilot ID remains yours permanently and is never reissued. If you leave and later return, you will retain the same pilot ID, but your seniority will reset based on your new date of hire.

Staying active

We know life gets busy, so our activity rules are generous.

• Your First Flight: Please complete your first flight within 30 days of approval. We will send a reminder on day 23. If you have not flown by day 30, your membership will be marked as a "no-show," though you may request to rejoin.
• After 90 Days: After 90 days without a flight, your account moves to leave status. You will keep your seniority; to return, simply sign in and fly any leg.
• After 180 Days: After 180 days without a flight, you will be retired, and your seniority will be forfeited unless staff has previously approved a leave of absence. You may ask to rejoin at any time, subject to staff approval.

Resigning or retiring

You can resign or retire at any time, and your pilot ID will remain reserved for you should you choose to return. Please note that membership can be terminated for violating our operating policies or community standards, in which case staff will provide an explanation. Terminated members are not eligible to rejoin.

Your Data

To manage your membership, we keep:

• Account details: name, email, country, simulator preferences, and VATSIM ID.
• Flying records: schedules and bids, duty periods, ACARS tracking data, approach reports, and your flight history.
• Your logbook entries: the notes and figures you add to your own logbook.

What other members can see: your name, pilot ID, crew base, seniority and flight activity, on airline pages and the seniority list.

Your email address is never shown to other members. It is used for account verification and membership notices, which are delivered through our email provider. Your VATSIM ID is checked against VATSIM's public records when you apply. We don't sell or share your information with anyone else.

Code of Conduct

Allegiant VA is built around a shared interest in aviation, airline operations and flight simulation. We want every member to feel welcome.

• Fly responsibly. VATSIM flying is encouraged but not required. When you fly online, follow VATSIM's rules, use your assigned callsign, and represent the airline professionally.
• Respect fellow members. Treat other pilots and staff with courtesy, on Discord and everywhere else.
• Keep flight records accurate. Every flight you submit must be genuinely flown. Falsifying activity or manipulating flight records is grounds for termination.

Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, the administration team pledges to make participation in allegiant va and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio- economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards

• Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Our Responsibilities

The administration team is responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

The administration team has the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces. Examples of representation include posting in other forums or Discord channels related to our hobby, flying on an online ATC platform such as VATSIM, IVAO, or PilotEdge, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by the administration team.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the administration team via email or Discord direct message. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The administration team is obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Members who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project’s leadership.
