Hopefully in 6 months this contract drama will be behind us and we'll be on par with NKS or JB, then I'll be more than happy to invite guys over.
Allegiance flies the same equipment as Delta and American. You should expect the same pay as them for the same equipment. You have the same training standards and responsibilities, therefore the pay should be the same.
Allegiant doesn't pay less for fuel because they are a Ultra low cost carrier. They don't get a discount on parts for aircraft either. Why should they get a discount for their pilots? We have to get out of this mindset that we are worth less to different airlines for the same equipment. This ideology is management Jedi mind trick voodoo horse crap.
