Allegiant has issues for sure. It will never be the same as working for a legacy. There are a few things that are absolutly true about Allegiant. We will get a contract eventually. It will be for much more money that we make now. We are the most profitable airline in the world. You can't make gains without profits.
Allegiant is head over heals better than any regional ever could be. We sell our own tickets and own our own planes. No regional can compare. We don't have to worry about being whipsawed by some other cut throat regional every couple of years for flying. The current pay at Allegiant is also better that any regional. No regional line captain makes over $150 per hour.
There is no silencing the Allegiant haters here. Actions speak louder than words. Why are they all still here if they are so afraid for their safety? Why haven't they all left for the glamorous and safe regioanls yet? They are all talk.
After we get a contract, the same guys will be gloating about their wise decision to come here and stay.
No contract is going to fix our operational or MX issues and being handed a contract tomorrow without addressing that wouldn't change my mind about this place. Look if you're ok with the operation and our MX and can climb aboard our planes without being a little nervous every time, good for you. But then again I've never accused you of having any common sense and I'm not about to start now.
