We’re perplexed by this too. Taking into consideration Frontier/Spirit are actively hiring in significant numbers. Two things that exist right away at those places, a contract and new car smell airplanes. Their maintenance may not be any better, but you would never know it having factory fresh birds.

So long as MG is the boss there will never be a contract at Allegiant. Our negotiators will not put forth a two page TA, minus work rules MG has sworn he will never agree to. Frontier and Spirit may not have industry leading pay, but the quality of life afforded by a contract and overall compensation will leave you richer.

As the fleet grows with these worn out second and third world airplanes, the risks keep escalating every year. Allegiants day to day operations are run by intern level leadership. We traded one dirtbag DO for another. His replacement is a career bad cop, with nothing else to offer.

Why wait for limited slots at the Legacies here?
