A job that a lot of people in this pilot group could do and have done. It would be one thing if he had a long record of delivering arbitration wins and great contracts, but in his 6 year or so reign, he's batting 500 on arbitrations and we haven't seen a contract. All we've gotten is a whole lot of drama. More than I've ever seen at any airline. He sold the 1224 breakaway as this great thing that would funnel all this money in and solve all our problems but all it did was **** off the rest of IBT and make him completely autonomous. Hasn't improved our situation at all, despite his strong words. All the resources wasted on the breakup could have been used against the real enemy, allegiant management.

We need to trust but verify. Ask hard questions. Demand our resources are used wisely. I don't give anyone in my life blank checks and the union doesn't deserve one either. You fanboys seem to think so, but that's not how business is done.
