This guy seems like a hired gun brought in to keep employees at bay and make the ultra rich even richer. He's going to be met with 500 fed up pilots on Day 1.
It's hard to say. It was a little because of troop draw down so we knew that was gonna have an impact but we were making money hand over fist. Yes, Allegiant does have a totally different business model so bringing him in could be to just squeeze more money out. He's good at that. Just when you think they can't possibly take anymore away...Steve finds a way. Good luck with him. Maybe he's not the same guy as he was.
