I had a student stop by my office bubbling with excitement. She informed me that she has been hired as a customer service representative for Allegiant Air, the new carrier offering non-stop air flights from Tri-State to Orlando.
She continued that she was undecided about her college major & career path but after a few weeks at the airport she was sold on a career in the travel industry.
The Travel Prof tips his hat to this carrier and hopes that the community will support them by flying on them. Full flights means jobs and as the demand for air seats increase we’ll stand to see more flights out of Tri-State. We have already seen USAirways substantially drop their air fares.
