The company has announced Q4 and Year End results. Perhaps they will reveal more about Allegiant 2.0...

Beware the end of transition training to bring on a new airplane. All too similar of a scenario to US Air during the late 90s:
Yikes--from someone who had a Sep 99 training date at US Air.
- Hire a bunch of pilots to help staff the airline while pilots get trained on new airplane.
- Get rid of old airplanes.
- Furlough excess pilots--i.e. pilots who were just hired so other pilots could get trained.
- Stagnate for 10 years waiting for merger/economy to improve

The Economy is booming right now and will continue to do so IMO.

It's funny to read some ppl referring to G4 as a "sinking ship". Makes me think they don't understand the phrase very well. Being a pilot on the bottom end of the seniority list with slower progression does not constitute a "sinking ship". If these people give it 12-18 months they will be pleasantly surprised with the rate of movement.

Very different scenario than what G4 is currently in now. G4 is still one of the most profitable airlines in the world (top 5). Economy is booming and the company just announced 16 new routes along with another base opening (GRR).

The company says no hiring for 2019. The pilot group says they are full of crap, and there is no way they make it past the summer before they start hiring.
