I'm not on the triple, but on the aircraft I fly, I have yet to run in to an 80 year old flight attendant, gay or straight.
While Allegiant may be better than some regionals in some respects, there's no comparison to my current job.
Your argument is absurd. It's all relative. I love when other people try to tell me what's good and what isn't. Take Time magazines "50 most beautiful people" issue for example. Who is some lame author I've never even met, to tell me who is and isn't beautiful?
If you like your new job better, great. I'm happy for you. Enjoy living out of your rollaboard and eating airport food every day for all I care. I meet every requirement to go to a legacy and I choose to stay at Allegiant anyway. The thought of doing 4 day trips again makes me want to puke. Crew rooms, airport food and dodging annoying FA's on overnights also has the same effect. I actually am home enough now to enjoy some of my old hobbies again and I sleep next to my wife every night. I never worry anymore about someone breaking into my house while I'm on a trip and my family is alone. Peace of mind and QOL is more important to me than the extra money I'd make at a legacy. To each their own.
