I agree. I can take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed. Any one who has worked at Allegiant should know that those types of guarantees mean nothing. The way to incentivize the company to have more day trips is to pay a lot more for overnight trips. Then at least the pilots who are losing on the schedule gain on the money. Who gets paid when the company violates the percent of day trips? Does that just get paid out to those that filed a grievance? no thanks.
