Funny how there is PSA pilot and a maintenance guy doing the most boo-hooing Allegiant this week.

Things aren't perfect, but the company is making a lot money and can continue to do so even during a future economic crash. Pilot pay is below Delta but still fairly similar to other LCCs. Higher than Atlas on the 767 for example. Plenty of 2-3 year quick upgrades making $150k++. Most G4 pilots live in base and are happy with life. No layovers, no EDCT times, weather isn't much of an issue, no megahubs, airport appreciation sits, or 11pm dinner at the hotel lobby bar.

Of course more money will be great but that will definitely come sooner or later. If you take the quick upgrade you know TDY or VBD is in the cards, if you don't like it, you can be a senior FO in most bases within 12-18 months.
