I wish I could copy that and have it read aloud in each and every recurrent class. Well said.

The bottom line is...it doesn't matter. Allegiant is a classic stepping stone operation. For every opening there will be 500 Regional pilots chomping at the bit to move up to "big iron."
All they'll be looking for is that 757/A320/DC-9 type rating and enough hours to move on to a Mainline airline. As long as the Company keeps generating the kind of profits they do, the bean counters won't give a fig about your pay, benefits or quality of life. YOU, via your contract, need to improve these things. Grieve EVERYTHING that violates your current contract and be ready and willing to strike for the changes you need in your next contract. In this century at least, pilots have been unwilling to do the latter and the results are: http://www.alpa.org/portals/alpa/pre...-pay-chart.pdf |

We were a content group of non-union employees 4 years ago before new management rolled in and took everything from us. Suddenly we were making less while working more, with less support and less resources. Communication slowly went from one-sided propaganda using novel terms such as 'unsustainable', 'unscalable', legacy-creep', etc. to what is now virtually nonexistent. Suddenly 3 unions magically appeared. Go figure |
I look forward to two things now, since quality of life and good pay are no longer realistic. A better job, or imagining the look on MG and AL’s face when the NMB issues the results of the strike vote.

Prospective Allegiant pilots need to take heed of all that is being written here. It is 100% accurate.
For a second, think about your worst nightmare management team. If you had to pick management from some of the worst airlines in history with respect to employee relations, who would you select? A President who cut his teeth at an investment firm started by Frank Lorenzo? How about a VP of Ops and a DO from the "old" Northwest? Hey, for the hell of it, throw in a Director of Safety and countless crew schedulers from Mesa. Is your skin crawling yet? As mentioned above, the inmates are running the asylum here. When the Director of FP&A (Financial Planning and Analysis) is put in charge of the new crew scheduling software, you know that it's all over for the pilots. We will NEVER get a new contract without giving these people a "time out". The past 15 years (and especially the last 5) have been a drunken orgy of dirt-cheap planes, employees being paid scraps, a stock price that defies the laws of economics, and an FAA POI who looked the other way on the whole operation. The party's over and it's time to pay the bar tab. |
