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.
Like most of my posts, I'm not saying this to be argumentative, but you guys do realize that Envoy just got gutted, and certain other regionals are languishing right now, don't you? Many regional guys are trying to do something to improve themselves professionally and improve their lives and or pay...i.e., not make a lateral (backwards move.)
