I think I'm gonna apply to XO Jet. Thanks for listening.

UAL still looking to hire another 650 or so over the rest of this year and continuing into next year. Quitting does seem to be the only thing you are legally allowed to do rather than wait potentially another two years for the NMB to pull its head out. They could do so sooner, but judging by the "progress" made last week in D.C. agreeing to another meeting they have an excuse to avoid doing anything for a while longer.
I'm in new hire FO training at UAL right now, and there is an 8.5 year Allegiant guy in my class. Having such a senior guy bail says pretty much everything about what a crap deal you guys have. Good luck with your apps.

Run ASAP and never look back.
You'll be CA somewhere else before that place is worth a damn. And mgt there will just plainly never respect you. Never.

I would never question anyone's decision for leaving Allegiant at this point, but would hate to leave right before a breakthrough. I think the pressure coming from the investor side to expedite the resolution of labor disputes, combined with constant diversion of senior management resources towards legal/NMB issues and industry compensation quickly trending north, I might expect to see a contract by the end of this year. Management is growing tired and weary while IBT is just getting warmed up.
Just a guess, but the union and the pilots have been surgically effective at punishing the company and I don't see that changing until a contract is signed. Management knows it, so do the investors, the media, even the average passenger routinely asks if we are striking today. :-/
The plan so far, including the strike attempt, was well planned and effective. The entire world knows about us now and the stock has not rebounded since the strike attempt hit the headlines. Up until that point, nothing seemed to affect the ever climbing stock price. Since then, even a stellar quarterly report, the decertification of the dispatchers, and endless accounts of court action defeating the union efforts, the stock is still down 20% with no sign of returning. By all accounts, because of those damn pilots.
MG will retire someday soon, maybe sooner than he thinks. Other airlines have turned around, Allegiant might too
