Honestly, I don’t see it anytime soon, or ever. We don’t usually set up in bases that are already held down by other airlines. With Frontier, SWA, and United there, we wouldn’t spend any extra money to compete against them. Plus, the gate fees are just expensive and that goes against the Allegiant growth model

This company has never chased market share or growth just for growth’s sake. It has always been a high margin airline - even if it means sacrificing growth to maintain the margins. When has management just ponied up for market share? They didn’t do it for aircraft and they wont do it for pilots. Even 737s they got at a bargain because the line for the NEOs was out til the end of the decade.
You’re theory is based on the belief that JR, as CEO, is gonna talk the board and MG into doing something that goes against everything MG believes in. It’s not gonna happen. As long as MG is chairman and the largest shareholder he is JR’s boss despite JR’s ceo title. MG is still calling the shots.
What in MG’s career makes you believe he’s gonna just give the pilots what they want to get a contract done in the next 1-2 years?? It ain’t happening. We will shrink and maintain monster profit margins compared to the industry because that’s what MG prioritizes and has always done.

With WO regionals offering livable pay. Will Allegiant bump 1st year FO pay above $57?
#509
NO. There is no provision in our contract to allow for 1st year FO pay to be increased. The union, rightfully so will not allow our industry worse 1st year pay to be altered in ANY way. So, factor in Bidenflation you and your family will be living on food stamps. And at the rate of our negotiations don’t expect a change for at least a few years; best case scenario.

Yes they absolutely will raise 1st year pay, whenever we get a new TA many many years from now.
