Here we go again with “mainline”. Who says this?
Think they refer to the big guys now as Legacy. I would argue that my worst day at Allegiant trumps a 4 day trip. Been there. Done that : /

 

I don't know how you can ever beat an average Allegiant day. Show up at a small airport where you're based. Short walk to the terminal, short walk to the gate. Quick easy turn with little to no traffic or ATC delays. How could a day in Newark or ORD ever come close to that quality of life.

 

As long as your small base that you & your family built their lives around doesn't close.....

 

This right here. I left for mainline and hated it. Wish I’d stayed. Would love to come back and finish out at Allegiant if they ever start hiring again. Just sucks to have lost all the seniority. Oh well…live and learn. Mainline isn’t for everyone.

 

your going to give up major airline pay for $57 an hour?

 

I left mainline a while ago.

 

Got any more of them contracts? The stalling is unbelievable at this point. GU sucks but Management hasn’t proven **** over these last 4 years of saying they want us to have a standard contract. Still waiting on flying a single one of these 1400 routes they’ve identified. No confidence in GU to run a fair election, and definitely none in G4 Management

 

Management has dropped the ball, but no everything is management. I'll give you an example... Today we had a zoom call for nominations of slates to run for election. After the individual running the call requested ANYONE outside the slates to state if they wanted to put their name for president, it was silent. Therefor only two opposing candidates for president were present and eligible. Long story short, after the meeting was over, and cameras were OFF. JR tried dropping his name in for President. Apparently GU wanted to allow it, but was shot down by the union mediator that was running the meeting. What does that tell you? What does that tell ANYONE? Seriously... put two and two together. This is the type of slimmy crap GU does, and apparently JR is ok to do to keep control.

Are we going to blame the company for this? Or if GU would've gotten away with it? NO. Enough is enough, people need to vote for a slate that is looking to do the pilot groups wishes, not GUs or some hardliners that just want to fight the company all the way to an impasse that isn't going to happen.

 

I think it’s very clear the Blueskies slate is the only way. Yes, there are good guys on both, but it’s very clear the Building Unity slate is not the way. It’s been years of trying to build unity, the last thing we need is a slate comprised mostly of VPS pilots negotiating our contract while ignoring data.
