If you want me to say that Alligent has the best schedules and the most flexibility and the best possible scenario for seniority movement with a bunch of small bases then fine, you win.
I’m for opening another base if it’s a desirable location that a large group of pilots want to live. It’s almost always at the detriment to the pilots staying in the current bases but if it improves qol for a bunch of guys by taking them off the commuter rolls then I’m willing to make that sacrifice. But having a few big bases is the best for the group as a collective.
You're the one who brought allegiant into this and used us as an example of something bad. I came in to say you have no idea what you're talking about but you keep trying to push a bad position. I really could GAF what you think or what Spirit does. I'm just saying we have a whole bunch of small bases and it works out for us. We also only do day trips so we are comparing apples to kumquats. What works for us probably wouldn't work with conventional trips. As for the dick measuring contest, it's no contest. Be sure you take a couple steps closer to the urinal next time.
