Chairman Killen is completely clueless because he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room at all times. He was SHOCKED that we weren’t released or given a status conference. He was naive enough to believe that he just had to give his PowerPoint of why management is bad and poof… we get released.

Even after the NMB gave the union an ultimatum after the election Chairman Killen wouldn’t pull his out of the sand. He still thinks the smartest guy wins in negotiations. He has no idea it’s the leverage that matters.

and don’t get me started on his ideas for running an airline. He seriously told management to just increase ticket prices and start flying more to Vegas on Tuesdays and to Florida in September. Guy is the walking definition of that pilot that knows everything and has no clue that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.

apparently he had this PowerPoint he made for the NMB that was gonna get us released. He wanted to show the NMB how Allegiant wasn’t a ULCC but was actually more like delta and Alaska than spirit or frontier. And then he was shocked when our attorneys told him that it wasn’t a good idea. Let’s just say union reps going back years are frustrated as can be with him.
