All FO's at Allegiant should see those rates as a slap in the face. Why can't the most profitable company in the US afford Southwest rates, Delta rates, United rates, American rates, etc...?
Not sure what fantasy world your living in but you are never going to be happy here because we will not see SW, Delta etc rates. The union isn't even attempting to get them. When I ran their numbers I didn't go past year 7 for FO rates and band 1 was $100 and band 3 was $110. Agreed about pay bands, they are a non starter for a contract. The FO rates are at or above Alaska for the first 3 years then we fall behind again. If you want Delta rates, go to Delta, enjoy your commute and overnights.
As stated by others, it's obvious the company isn't interested in longevity of their pilots based on the terrible captain rates and no mention of retirement and insurance.
