Win or lose in court, one thing is for sure is that our reps and the IBT have sent clear notice that pilots have had it with management's arrogant neglect and careless dismissal. They are getting hit with withering attacks from every angle and are showing signs of buckling. Press, FAA oversight, court hearings, fighting off a strike, etc. We warned them but they were smarter than those stupid pilots. Now management and everyone around them, media, public, investors, FAA, NMB, are all seeing what Allegiant employees and passengers have been dealing with. They are also aware of the fact they will no longer be able to brush us aside year after year at the bargaining table looking at the 15-year plan. What they don't realize is how much this is going to cost them now versus what it would've cost had they been reasonable two years ago.

Hopefully the company is beginning to realize it would have been SO much easier and cheaper to work with us than pi$$ us off treating us like cattle.
