Well say what you will but I personally feel that the downward spiral of the last two years has been the best thing that ever happened to Allegiant.

By making everyone's life miserable from top to bottom they have ensured a strike vote and a good contract. That would have been impossible if they kept the old regime in charge. They would have been smart enough to keep the upper guys happy and on and on we would have gone.

How many times have you heard a super senior captain telling a common story to all the rest of us but they are just incredulous that it happened to them? "They junior manned me. Me! Where's that Teamster lanyard?"

So a big thank you to GB and KB for bringing the pain. We couldn't have done it without you.
