It's no different than any others on this board complaining about contracts, management, pay, work rules, etc including the Delta TA thread.
The pilot group has one button to push and it has been mentioned but it's not getting enough air time. The Valujet connection to the CEO and current emergency return numbers need to be exploited to the max in the public. Until then, stop blaming others for your lack of a call.
Fish makes some good points. Looking at the stock and load factors, however, it doesn't appear that management is concerned by all the negative media coverage surrounding Allegiant. The media has done pretty good covering the maintenance problems, air returns, evacuations, even tying the CEO to ValuJet. I guess it will take another ValuJet type accident for anyone to wake up. The union seems to have done a good job showcasing the companies maintenance shortcomings and practices. Didn't they also came close to having several members removed from the board of directors? To date, only the threat of a strike seems to have made a dent in that crazy stock.
Between the government, the courts, and this Teflon CEO, these guys have tough times ahead. Hopefully the NMB will wake up and see G4's antics and give those guys the release they need to get a contract. Company won't budge until they strike.
