Simple facts here folks

Allegiant (MG) will never give up $1 sooner than he needs to. He doesn't pay you on what you are worth, he pays you the minimum he has to pay you to get the work done. Now they may fluff a few flights here and there, but overall they are content with the number of pilots per aircraft (which is one of the lowest in the industry).

New hires don't concern MG. It costs about $45k to train a new hire including hotel, salary, sim etc. And the first year the FO's work for about $45k less than the second year FO's which means new hires cost zero. Its better for the company if senior people leave and there is a higher number of low pay employees than the senior guys. Senior pilots cost more to do the exact same job.

The only way they will pay any more money is when the number of new hires is low enough to significantly impact the operation. Drawing down of the schedule by 18% for the summer was overkill. There is now zero open time to pick up and even drops available in some bases. They will be more cautious in the future. Perhaps they will take down the last 1/4 by 5-10%, r maybe they wont even do that. Because we have had an extremely low cancellation rate through the summer.

New hires are cheaper, willing to bend over, and them leaving means nothing to allegiant. When the new hire class is empty then they will act (about 12 months late). So for all you guys who say we are exaggerating, you may have a different picture from where you are sat, or most likely you are a management tool. Life in FL is hard if you are in the bottom 50% in seat. All micro bases are at risk of closure, so don't come for that. S#1T is going to get real bad in the next 12 months as they try to bring a new aircraft online.

In 10 years time G4 will not be the same as it is now. You should accept that it will either become a real airline or it will go under/be bought by another crappy carrier.
