If VA can pay a 10 year Captain $185, we can afford to pay $210 or more.

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...?
^this is where it was mentioned. Just trying to be realistic. Delta has more pilots than we have total employees so when you say most profitable that has to be put into perspective.
We will not see a contract to vote on before we enter a 30 day cooling off. The company has ZERO incentive to move forward.
