As in, "more Airbuses than god can count are coming if only the greedy pilots would take our very generous offer.." Probably accompanied by a map showing all the new cities we WON'T be flying to if pilots don't cave in....
You're correct. The website is a typical Ford and Harrison move, but, once again, I think that it would serve Allegiant's management well to consider what following said advice has done to Republic.
Republic management's similar propaganda web site served little purpose other than insulting the intelligence of the pilot group with it's thinly-vieled propaganda and half-truths.
Granted, there were a few people who bit, but they were quickly corrected when they tried to take their opinion to work.
In the end, it only angered the pilot group and helped the union's cause.
