Right now the CEO attitude is pretty much "my way or the hiway". He seems to have an endless supply of pilot applicants so isn't compelled to make any improvements.
Well regional guys believe its got to be better than their sh*tty regional. In their eyes, if its 5% better, its worth the switch. That won't last though. Allegiant simply will not survive as there will be nobody to fly the airplanes in about 5 years. Five or six years from today, there will be more major airline retirements than there are regional pilots to replace them. Things at Allegiant I'm sure will get better quick as a result, but that will be a false result. Things will go to good, than back to bad due to shrinking from the lack of pilots. Hopefully, you can find a successful merger.
