Same with the 88, 320, 73N etc.
Additionally a new hire can even bid while in training (often do and change bases even before arriving at their original base) so bottom line is no new hire is given a spot that a current pilot covets.
Hope that ALG can get a contract that includes this common standard.
We have a few pilots who bring their regional mindset of just good enough and whatever management gives me is ok. Simple industry standard practices such as bidding is just one of many.
Allegiant management loves the current state of no bounds. They do whatever they want when they want. Our PIE captain was terminated for trying to do the right thing. Our vp of ops Bingo-Baden violates FARs and bs's atc alongside our director of safety. No consequences. Non existent maintenance that serves only to minimally mask operational needs. No faa intervention, no consequences.
Allegiant management pulls every lawyer trick in the book to worm out of our work rules, which were minimal standards of practice. Signed and dated by our current vp of ops Bingo-Baden. Allegiant managements word, with signatures and handshakes means nothing. No consequences.
And all we get are emails from our coo SH or mav as we like to call him, proclaiming his steadfast efforts to negotiate in good faith. Lies of course. Evidenced by the actions that speak louder than his falsehoods.
