I agree there is some uncertainty to commit for 30 years, but, I am surprised at how young our NC and Exco are and they are all committed to staying here for the next 25-35 years. That should say something? They’re actions speak louder than their words imo.

I’m also not just talking about AR, of course he’s going to stay here and maximize the fiefdom he’s built. But there are several that have close to three decades of flying left that are committed to staying here and believe this is still a career airline (in private).

Now of course they’ll tell everybody to leave and look elsewhere because that’s the schtick right now. But look at their actions. EV, JA, RJ, RF, KS, just to name a few. Three of them are at all the negotiations. RF is technically #2 in the union and RJ is a trustee and in the know. They all have 30-35 years left of flying and they are staying put. They also have the most info on negotiations and what to expect from the next contract. Why would they all be committed to staying for 30+years?

They have the most info about negotiations and what management is willing to do. And they are choosing to stay and get us the industry contract we deserve. That should give us all some confidence in the long term opportunity at Allegiant.
