With just a few words changed, you literally could say this very same paragraph to the people you are negotiating a new contract with.
Your worthless opinion regarding all things Allegiant has proven once again proven to be just that.
Allegiant and RJET's business models could not be further apart on the airline spectrum. Allegiant has no codeshare partners and very good revenue and liquidity. It pays for it's own fuel, sells its own tickets and controls its own destiny. The one correlation is that RJET went to war with its pilots and, at least until recently, Allegiant seemed to be doing the same. There is some cautious optimism that things are perhaps changing, but that remains to be seen.
What point, exactly, are you trying to make here?
