I got bashed leaving Envoy a couple of years ago for Allegiant because it was such a crappy LCC and such. At the time, granted, they did not have the current contract and the pay rates are much, much better now along with other areas.

The reason I left was due to what I felt was the uncertainty of the flow. Yes, you had the lost decade and I took that into account. But with the company's history of violating agreements and the way the hiring numbers and flow numbers looked, I decided it was better for me to live in base, Florida (home every night), and to go where I am now. For me, it's worked out great. I've got apps out still but haven't received any calls. Hopefully as my PIC bus time increases, I might get a hit. In the worse case scenario, I don't mind it if I get "stuck" here. Things are not bad and I've got lots of guys below me in the event something should happen.

In the meantime, all you newbies quick to jump on the bashing bandwagon, look at 3Engine's points above. That's essentially why I left.
