Bold move jumping right into the conversation without having even started yet. I like the tenacity, I hope we get the chance to fly together in the near future.

The unfortunate thing with allegiant is people with opinions like your own are somewhat reluctant to publicly speak up. This company er, pilot group, for whatever god forsaken reason, loves to eat it’s own. For a group that preaches unity, they sure do squash anything that doesn’t directly align with AR’s weekly mix of koolaid. Any thoughts outside of their “efforts” are quickly going to warn you the label of “management troll”.

Here’s the reality of the situation, AR is realistically what stands between us and a new contract. Now I’m going to get jumped all over for this, but hear me out. What gain does AR have by signing a new contract tomorrow? He’s pay protected AND paid by the union. He financially benefits more than anyone by sitting in negotiations as long as he can. I think if by this afternoon we do not hear from him that we will have something out for a vote by next month, it’s a clear indication he’s the sole stoppage. He’s chosen his hill to die on and it’s at our expense.
