You don't have use such a big brush to paint us, dude.
Flying for Delta isn't my first job in the private sector - I come from the seamy underbelly of FAR 135 flying, and my only regret looking back is that the check-hauling jobs are long gone. That was a good way for a young punk to gain valuable experience.
I get it that we often come off as elitist, and offer my apologies for my colleague's poorly chosen words.
My concern after reading the original post in this thread was the broader implications of the poster's situation on the rest of us. Operations like these drag the rest of us down. It also harms Allegiant's pilot union (they're IBT, right?) and their effectiveness by moving their pilots all over the system as he describes. Ryanair does the exact same thing.
Maybe your interests would be better served as part of ALPA? I belonged to the Teamsters when I was with Executive Jet Aviation / Netjets, and the experience could be charitably described as underwhelming. Better services, and an actual presence in DC.
Dawgdriver, I hope you get out of there soon, and find greener pastures.
