Are you one of those few, or did you get there from another job? I'm not entirely surprised I should say... Allegiant ops are like the antithesis of Delta ops; not to say the crews are, but I could see how it would paint a bad picture to the perceived triple breasted sky gods (meant to be playfully insulting, not serious!).
For those curious... I have heard (personally) of plenty of people going to United, and guys leaving in droves to Southwest. Haven't heard of any AA or Delta personally yet. I think there has been a jet blue or two in there as well.

Yes, I'm at DAL, but I didn't come from Allegiant. That was the other poster eaglatr, I believe, that was there for quite a while. Says he's at a legacy now but I didn't see if he said which one.
I've been here 15 years and don't personally know any former Allegiant guys/gals that are here, but that's not saying much with 13,000 pilots spread all over the country. I know that as of late if you weren't military or a flow through/pref-interview type, there haven't been many spots left for anyone else. My understanding is that the flows are close to being done if not already, which should open the door a bit more for everyone else.
