This is a very delusional piece of rhetoric that I have heard from several pilots. You really need to remember where exactly you work at.
Calling Allegiant the most profitable airline in the world is like saying your fleet of three taco trucks is the most profitable Mexican restaurant in the world based on a great profit margin -- ignoring the fact that your overall revenue is low, your trucks are broken down half the time, and you force your kids to chop onions 10 hours a day after school for free.
Our fleet size, hourly block, and head count is smaller than a single base at Delta. Delta books over $40B per year in revenue, G4 is $1.3B.
Currently we have zero enforceable work rules, and if the company wanted to they could implement every single thing in the contract tomorrow and reduce us to the lowest payband. Voting down this TA will lead to a mass exodus of pilots and kill recruitment. I would imagine our NC would resign. This is not the same as Delta voting no, when they already have a great contract to fall back on.
