G4 FO here. First time posting. Just wanted to chime in and say this place is not nearly as bad as what these full time keyboard commandos are saying. Yes we need a contract. We will get one. I have a couple kids, can't imagine being anywhere else being gone for multiple days in a row. The pay scale gets better after year one. They pay for your hotel during training now, Pure reserve is not that bad if you live in base. It's September, a slow month by Allegiant standards. I haven't flown since Sept 2nd. Quality of life is something that cannot be measured. We are expanding and growing. All of the horror stories of being TDY'd for months at a time are non existent. When you are an initial newnhire you might have to worry about that for a bit, or if you are a new captain. It has its problems. If you come here thinking they don't have issues you will be disappointed. Cue the "that guy must be management" responses.
