One is a Dec 2013 nh and is number 2 now on the seniority list for the fo side in his base. He is also a commuter and is still happy. Was training a mess? Yes it was, but now everything is in house and at the new training facility and not pan am's. Is it perfect? No, but who is? Hope this helps people that are on the fence.
Let's see. YOU don't/nor have ever worked at Allegiant, yet you are going to say that you know more about what pilots there really think (and the numbers of pi%%ed off people) because you have a friend who has been there less than a year. Seriously?!? Plus, the fact that he has been there less than a year, yet already has moved up the FO list in base quickly, should tell you something about how much people want to stay at Allegiant...
As someone who actually HAS worked there as a pilot, I count myself lucky to have gotten out when I did (nearly 4 years ago). I saw it deteriorating then, and it's only gotten worse, according to my friends who have been there MUCH longer than several years.
You are entitled to your opinion, just like anyone else. But don't discredit others who actually have been there, and done that, to the topic in question, based on second-hand info from a relative new-hire (and don't we all see things rosy for some time as a new hire anywhere?).
