The differemce is those folks have contracts - otherwise I assure you they'd be pulling the same $h!t they're doing at Allegiant.
Allegiant pilots need to stay focused on the goal. And remember - it's just business; not personal.
Delta has over 12,000 pilots, I don't care if you get a 100% raise, someone will complain its what they do.
Is DAL's mgmt supposed to benevolently give pilots raises instead of stock buybacks? Apparently not as the mgt works for the BOD, the pilots work for the MGT. Section 6 is opening soon, and all the stock buybacks will have been documented.
AY pilots do need to keep their eye on the ball and organize and demand a safe, efficiently run airline in their first contract. The way to get rid of TDY's is to make them expensive for the company.
