There's a sucker born every minute.
No matter how many post in the know about the conditions, like cockroaches, pilots keep coming up from the swirling drain of the regionals looking for a way (anyway) into a larger jet.
Mgmt will not negotiate as long as they see a steady supply of starry eyed recruits willing to replace those disgruntled 6months plus senior pilots.
I believe it was Gordon that years ago wrote a book after leaving Continental saying he could easily make money in an airline if he was allowed to fire/recycle all the employees after 5 yrs of longevity.
Allegiant is just demonstrating that concept.
I've always said Allegiant could require you to cut off a finger to work here and people would ask which one.
Luckily those people are becoming very hard to come by anymore. Heard of a rash of regional FOs that have interviewed and then turned down the offer in the last couple months.
