Deadhead pay is only $20/hr if you are over guarantee. If you are under guarantee, it's $1/hr, and those hours are supposed to be credited towards guarantee.

I thought the VP of Flight Ops just put out a letter to all the pilots saying you didn't have any work rules?

Wow! That sucks. I'm surprised a bunch of you guys aren't jumping to the Majors at the first opportunity.

Yeah man some of these are rough.... Stay strong and hopefully you guys can make some positive changes .

No wonder they are making so much money .. Living off of the hard work of the employees

100 dollar stock price doesn't come from nothing

G4 has enjoyed for over a decade now, cheap airplanes, surplus pilots, and a POI who looked the other way, when it came to training and MX. The accountants who run the company are still living in this paradigm.

Lots of growing pains coming. The only question is, when the strike vote will take place.

There is a thread near this one titled "Delta Pay Question". The company (Delta) had taken a trip from a pilot for IOE and paid them for it. This pilot was asking if he or she could then pick up a trip for holiday pay, in effect triple-dipping. As I read it through teary eyes, all I could think was how far Allegiant has to come in order to come even close to a situation like this. If this had happened here, the pilot would still have been paid, but would have been put on reserve (for the original footprint of the trip) and most likely given some horrendous assignment. Then the assignment would drag into the original rest period and when queried, scheduling would mutter something about flexibility before threatening to call the Chief Pilot and hanging up.

Heard some relatively senior captains are leaving for the majors already.

It's true. 2014 will be epic in many ways....

This doesn't surprise me a bit. Upside: You guys finally have a Union. Downside: You always have to start from scratch.

I think a whole boatload of guys are going to realize this and bolt for greener pastures. Even the guys who live in Vegas are gonna head for SWA.

The ONLY upside to that is there will be rapid upgrades...at least until THOSE guys get Major jobs.
