Seriously, youve created a bit of a slippery slope with your argument. You surmise that just because a hard working employee desires a $1000 kickback that they must be “hard up”. Perhaps said employee takes his $1000 and invests it in XYZ and doubles it in a short amount of time. That is more beneficial than what the company may do with it where you may never see a benefit or a limited return. For example, under our old PTO system, I saw no benefit in accruing a large PTO balance. It was better to cash it all out and invest it for myself instead of Allegiant for themselves, and if I really needed paid time to replace lost income to sickness or whatever, Im taking it out of my own personal PTO piggybank, not the Allegiant one.
Theyve got you fooled if you think there are problems with this company financially. Its all nothing more than a shell game to them. (Sunseeker anyone?) Another fact is all these other companies didnt just blow their wad on employee bonuses. Its a very miniscule amount and they have tens/hundreds of millions leftover from the trump bump that they will reinvest back into their company and industry. Ultimately Allegiant will do whatever benefits their largest stockholders. Always. And Im sure Dave Ramsey would be proud of them.

But actually, I know for a fact that at least two of the chief pilots and several high ranking people in the training department and flight ops are here regularly. They aren't as anonymous as they think they are but some just lurk.

Instead, we get middle fingers. No Trump bonus, and now a tiered profit sharing system that will most likely make it not even worth trying. This will certainly factor into my operational decisions going forward.

Also, $1000 may not be a lot to you, Mr big shot Flight Ops Management Guy, but to our FAs and low level HQ workers who slave away every day, it's a lot of money. Try to think about somebody other than yourself.

Your numerous contradictions in your last few posts along with your childish and baseless accusations coupled with a deep void of reality and situational awareness have led me to believe that you’re just not worth the time.

Someone said that you are meant to retire in about a year? Like I said earlier, thank Christ for that: No one wants to work with a person as miserable as you present yourself. I worry, however, that the notion might present a false hope since I’m sure you’ll still be able find something that your overly active deep limbic system will cause you to feel the need to biatch about even without the stresses of work.

I recommend St John’s Wort.
