It's no different than any others on this board complaining about contracts, management, pay, work rules, etc including the Delta TA thread.
I think your numbers include flows. For off the street hires it is indeed a military pilot's game at all the majors. Break down any newhire class at Delta, AA, United and Southwest in the last two years and remove flows and interns and you sure won't see half civilian. One exception is/was USAir.
I also disagree that this thread serves no point. I'd argue that this thread is exactly why this website was created. Seems everyone in the industry knows about Allegiant and its woes due to this very thread.
