Exactly. Allegiant is a travel company that looks to MAXIMIZE profits at all cost, regardless of the impact to those that generate the profit. Our aloof management doesn't realize the long term effect of what they are doing and image they portray with their actions. Attrition and no show's to new hire class, the few exceptions being those deemed un-hirable at other airlines.

Imagine for a moment what a new hire can expect if Allegiant's most uber senior pilots are only getting 11 days off per month. Even the crappiest regionals would NEVER do that. Throw in 10 days of reserve for some of those top 10% guys and you begin to feel the bitter slap of resentment. These are the peeps that shouldered the pain and risk of starting this company and were promised the moon by our CEO. Allegiant's nasty habit of closing the bases (LAX, DEN, GRR, IFP, RNO, UTA) that many of these pilots relocated to 'so they could be home every night', has forced these pilots to commute. Enter Merlot PBS, a tremendously unpopular scheme designed to put EVEN more money in management's pocket by 'streamlining' schedules and these guys are screwed. Our management disregarded our argument that PBS violated our work rules, and arrogantly rushed the implementation of this cheap software. Months of anger and frustration accompanied with management's 'sincere' apologies, insulting excuses and excruciating incompetence, and the company still insists it has the right and it's what's in our best interest. The pilots have since filed an injunction against Allegiant in court, it's up to the lawyers now.

Folks are leaving, looking for companies that value and respect their employees and do what's necessary to keep them. Our pilots have suffered the hits to pay and QOL ever since new management was hired and the bean counters were cut loose. Lining executives' pockets by screwing over employees is a short term agenda with severe implications in the long term. Hopefully the approaching cliff will bring in much needed change and new management.
