So sharing my personal experience is "digging a hole" eh? If anyone dug a hole it's you. You basically acknowledged on a public forum that you willfully flew aircraft you felt were unsafe. Why don't you just share your name with all of us too, just to make the FAA's job easier.

This ain't my first rodeo pal. I spent more time eating the RJ turd sandwich than you did by several years. I didn't fall off the turnip truck and land at Allegiant. I was never really in the honeymoon phase. I like everyone here, never started out wanting to be at anything less than a legacy. I came to Allegiant to get away from the regional slums. I have no intention of retiring here. I came as an act of career progression. I'll either end up at a legacy or as an overseas contractor. I have little faith in G4 management coming to their senses and giving us a good contract. If they want to become a free type rating company, that is their business. Keeping myself out of trouble is mine. I'm already qualified for a dozen more companies overseas that I wasn't able to get a call at prior to coming here. I looked at Allegiant as an investment in myself. If they happened to get a great contract, then so be it. I always had one foot out the door. For me, this is all business as it should be. I am appreciative for all of the opportunities I have been given from every employer I have ever had. Some jobs were good, and some were bad. I learned something from each one and moved on.

Consequently, you won't see me over on the regional forum, badmouthing my former company. You sure as hell won't find any posts about me signing for and operating an aircraft that I felt would put "my certificates" on the line. Your overly dramatic pontifications only serve to make you look stupid and reckless.

 

Aww, did I strike a nerve??? Funny how you need to throw insults to try to make your point. Enjoy AAY and say hi to MG for me

 

You say here that you declined the offer to work at Allegiant. Is this true? Did they call you back and convince you to change your mind? Not meaning to be confrontational, just curious.

 

The parking of most of our aircraft and the prospect of going back to regional FO wages indefinitely. A free type rating with time on type is extremely valuable overseas, particularly PIC time. There are worse places to be than Allegiant, believe it or not.

 

Speaking of pilot pushing. Has anyone heard the one about a certain las captain who turned back to vegas because he couldn’t make it to cruise on two art deferred motors?

 

It was probably some sort of job action orchestrated by the evil Teamsters....

 

Ha! Classic stuff. I never understood how the FAA is ok with G4 MX deferring the ART when the ART isn't broken?

 

I know of one plane (422NV) that couldn't hold altitude at FL330. Didn't turn back in this instance, but wouldn't surprise if there was more than one. This CA almost got an FAA letter for it. Amazing. 422NV is red sticker and both engines go right up to the limit. The right one likes to try to go over. This plane makes me nervous...it's only a matter of time.
