Some of your coworkers need to get a clue on what a concession is and isnt. Maybe too many years at SkyWest before Allegiant has clouded the brains of some and what a contract is and what a concession is
While you were at at home for 6 months making 50 hours and 14% DC, I’ve been sitting at home for 10 months making 72 hours and, yes I have had to contribute 5% to get my company match of 10%... but we’re in section 6 and our contract expires in AUG. as for our furloughed guys even with 2 months on the street they will have done almost the same as you taking a 120 hour pay cut (btw our furloughs never lost medical coverage or had a lapse in seniority accrual)
As for Allegiant’s unique-ness go look up how many planes and pilots SAVE has and the look at the market capitalization, do the same for Allegiant... if that doesn’t work for you here’s Ruters to explain it (super funny because it only has photos of spirit planes but only talks about G4)
