If you are thinking you are one of those getting a 5 or 6 year flow, might want to revisit that with your personal figuring and compare that with the company and the union. Lost decade...sure. That has an effect. It's not in the multi years though. A guy hired today is probably a bit over 8 years to wait, maybe a bit longer.
Eight years is significantly less than the 12 you initially quoted. And yeah, all the tradgedies mentioned above could slow things down. But I could also get hit by a bus, or lose my medical or any other scenario you can think of. Life happens. I guess the way you'll know if you made the right decision is when the guy directly above and below you at Envoy flow. If you're still at Allegiant, then you have your answer. If you've moved onto a legacy, then congratulations.
