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.
