Allegiant probably isn't the place for you. I get it though, you want them to just sign off on anything including the things they want to take away from us so you can collect your bonus and bail. I totally get it.

But that's not going to happen. Its going to take as long as it takes. Maybe this year maybe never. I'll watch this place burn to the ground before I vote in a piece of trash.

Once again Tommy boy doesn’t understand time value of money. Allegiant definitely is the place for you. You’re like the other 75% of this pilot group who just blindly trust these idiots negotiating for us. We could’ve had a half way decent contract 3 years ago and been negotiating the next go round but here we are 3 cycles behind everyone else.

I’m in for the long haul. That being said both sides have to get their **** together. Company needs to figure out their future bc what’s currently taking place isn’t sustainable and the union has to start acting like a real union instead of romper room.

I can’t wait to be at the end of this year with no contract in sight and you continuing to support GU and his cronies

Greg won't be here at the end of the year and there will be a new leadership voted in. But that isn't going to change anything with negotiations. We press on no different then today or 3 years ago. The pilots have turned in numerous surveys, nothing has changed. You want your bonus? You will probably have to stick it out a while longer, maybe even 2 years (or longer).

if this last more than another year they will go down as the worst union in existence. But you go on and keep supporting buddy.

2 years or longer the retention bonus balance approaches half of the company's cash on hand - it's simply not payable in accordance with the LOA no matter what RH or GA or TH say - they're not paying it out one day & issuing a going concern warning the next. But of course we will not be rushed, it takes as long as it takes, we're gonna get those VPS guys their Sunday's off.....

It’s almost as if they don’t realize this is a leisure travel airline. People want to fly on the weekends for vacation travel?? Who knew!?!?

All I can do is laugh at this point. Never seen a group so unwilling to help themselves.

This is a blatant lie and nobody believes you. the surveys have shifted dramatically since Andrew was sending them out. tommy the teamster you know this - JR even chastised us for not singing his praises in the surveys.

the IBT doesn't want to get a deal done. if they were to do another survey, the results would be even worse for the union with even more complaints about why the union is dragging their feet and wasting any leverage we might have had.
