They arrogantly assume that people should stay in a worse place rather than come to Allegiant.
My quality of life went up exponentially by coming to Allegiant. Allegiant has a bunch of problems and the pay is pretty bad, but it isn't as bad and hopeless as the regionals. Anyone that says otherwise is lying or has no clue. I have friends doing some expat work. You should hear some of their horror stories. Allegiants problems would be a welcome relief for them. It's all a matter of perspective. That said, we need a good contract and Maury needs to go. I am not pleased with the heavy use of contract mx, even in hubs. My hope is that when Maury goes, he will take his penny pinching ways with him. Our problems here are fixable. It will take the right leadership however.
I hear ya, "Cotter Pins" negligently not being installed by contract maintenance on the MD80 tail assembly that failed on takeoff roll; August 17, 2015, Flight 436 LAS to PIA, that required an extreme high speed RTO, had that been one of our shorter runways and/or the captain actually allowed a lift off.. That is the negligence of our CEO, COO, on down the line.
