Alaska was in BLI (QX) before Allegiant even opened their doors.

Alaska doesn't want you. They especially don't want 67 MDs, an aircraft they phased out years ago...you're flying some of their old jets. And they don't want either the Airbus or the 757 either.
Alaska is perfectly happy flying BLI to Hawaii with their jets and everywhere else using Horizon to connect to the rest of the system. If Allegiant disappeared from BLI, Alaska would ramp up with big jets. Why would they take you to get into an airport they're already in AND pioneered for YOU?

I don't want to get into a "my airline is better than your airline" ****ing match. It's juvenile and plays into management's hands. I have nothing against Alaska and we have several of our fine pilots who went to fly for them. Packrat obviously has some deep-seeded hatred for all things Allegiant. I don't know why and a really don't care. Fellow AAY pilots, let's ignore this noise that is distracting us from whats really important: a new contract and a safe, reputable operation.

If you are now at NJ, I’ll tell you who doesn’t want you. The oracle. If buffet could get away with flushing NJ down the toilet tomorrow, he would. Why do you think he allows a boy ceo to run the place? Hansell’s last job before taking the reigns at NJ, was working in his daddy’s law firm, which specializes in union busting. Good luck with that. Hansell is there to wring out every last dime.

Ok boys and girls, looks like VA be getting some love from Branson. And VA hasn’t been half as profitable as this cash cow. W T F over!
Yep.

Increase in 401k to 12% total.
First 7.5% is 125% matching on pilot's 6% contribution.
Remaining 4.5% is automatic and doesn't require pilot contribution (so if you contribute 0 you still get 4.5%). And, the 4.5% doesn't count toward IRS limits, so it's more like a DCP but within the existing 401k.
Profit sharing formula now based on pure earnings, no algebraic formula based on earnings + longevity (that they capped at 3 years last year).
Won't stop the upcoming(?) card drive, but may reduce some numbers.
I don't think anyone expected this!
