Good points all. Indeed, pay isn't Allegiant-bad, just 34% below industry average bad. In fact, it should be mentioned that Frontier has slightly lower rates as well. I advocate that we take a pay cut in order to better align ourselves for the coming merger.
Maybe pay will improve. Maybe the Flight Attendants will finally get a contract. Maybe they'll stop terminating and outsourcing loyal in-house CSA and ramp employees. But until then, a prospective candidate needs to appreciate the undeniable realities of the now.
