Some of you seem to think that getting on APC and doing nothing but badmouthing the company you rely on to pay your bills is a good idea. Some of you seem foolish enough to believe that if only you trash talk Allegiant enough, nobody will come here and management will come to us bowing and scraping begging us to accept Delta +10%. Let me be the first to tell you that that little fantasy of yours is just that, a fantasy.
I bet if we were offered a really great contract tomorrow, 99% of the comments on here would be about what a great place Allegiant is and how wise you were to come here. You would probably get bombarded with requests from friends to walk their resumes in. It'll be a complete 180. All of the sudden "its a great place to make a career". Your going to look pretty stupid telling the same people you convinced what an unsafe hell hole you worked at has magically transformed as soon as you get a few more bucks in your pocket.
If it is so much better at regionals and everywhere else, then leave. Don't walk, run!! It's so unsafe and your life is on the line every time you set foot in one of our planes right? You look like idiots bu staying. Toiling away as keyboard warriors bashing your company yet too stupid to leave it. I get it if you have a bad day and spout off once and a while. It happens to everyone. Some of you guys seem to have made a second job out of coming on here and going on a witch hunt for anyone who disagrees with you in the slightest. Wouldn't your time be better spent looking for a new job if you felt so terribly unsafe every moment of every day?
Yes things break at other airlines, but the rate at which things happen here at ValuJet....I mean Allegiant....is alarming. If an operation the size of Southwest had the rate of air returns that we do, they would be have something between 550-650 maintenance air returns per year. How do you dispute that?
It is so terrible here that I am trying to get out. I wish it were as easy as you say to "run" out the door. I would if someone would call! I have all my apps out and have been attending job fairs with a spotless record. It's not as easy as you might think to get a new job. You seem very offended by the comments on here about how poorly this place is run. You either have your head in the sand or you are helping run the place. I guarantee that if we got a contract that gave us great pay I would still be trying to leave because of how horrendous this operation is. Look at our daily I time reports. They are embarrassing! ValuJet....I'm sorry I slipped again...I mean Allegiant might be successful financially, but they are an utter embarrassment to the industry with the way they treat passengers and employees.
If I read a previous post of yours correctly, you were bad mouthing the first year pay on another thread and saying that you wouldn't fly an MD-80 for $34,000 a year. You sure did a 180 on how you look at this place. Must be that shiny Airbus you're flying around.
