My advice for anyone who is there is this: if you like your job as it is right now and don't expect ANYTHING to improve, go ahead and stay. Stay there because of what it IS, not because of what it COULD BE. Allegiant management is not interested in making this a career company for you. If, heaven forbid, there is a catastrophe due to cutting corners in Mx and safety, JB and MG will disappear in the flames. For those of you who are there and hoping MG will be visited by 3 ghosts one night and suddenly become interested in running a long-term, viable, and safe operation, you will be disappointed. Don't make the same mistake I did. Leave now while the hiring is just starting to pick up. I live in base and although I'm not home every night, my QOL and schedule flexibility are light years ahead of when I was a relatively senior captain at AAY. Do the right thing for your families, but don't have unrealistic expectations.
You are speaking the words that every 30 something captain I've met needs to hear. But hey, they're home every night. Except for being TDYd every other month.

It's a huge wake up call to see guys like you leave. With so much invested in the company at this point to pack it in and leave speaks volumes. Congrats on the move, I hope to join you soon.
