Like how, after years of us asking "Why Not?", they suddenly figured out how to do simultaneous Rwy 27 arrivals right after SWA moved in.....

In the latest propaganda from Steve he mentioned that the next round of negotiations isn't until February. I thought we had a round scheduled for early January. Does anyone know if those were cancelled by the negotiator? If so is that a good sign for us? Possibly getting released soon? Lets hope so!

An open letter from Allegiant COO Steve Harfst to all Allegiant pilots:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COO LETTER- JANUARY 1, 2016
BY ALLEGIANT AIR, JANUARY 1, 2016
To Allegiant Pilots:
As we embark on a new year, I wanted to take an opportunity to share some observations with you about the current status of Allegiant’s negotiations with Local 1224, and also discuss where we have set our sights for 2016.
In the coming year, we are scheduled to induct an additional eight Airbus aircraft into our fleet as we continue to grow our airline and the markets we serve. In support of this growth, we are focused on implementing further improvements across all operating departments to improve our operational performance.
By working together, Allegiant and the union have made significant advancement towards reaching a fair contract for you and your families. In the last year, we reached tentative agreements with Local 1224 on nine sections of the contract (this is more progress than in the previous three years of negotiations combined) and are close to tentative agreements on several other sections. In 2015, we also invested in key safety programs – FOQA, ASAP, HIMS and Professional Standards – that are important to pilots and will strengthen Allegiant’s operation.
While I am pleased with this progress, there is still much work to be done.
Along those lines, I am hopeful that in 2016 we can work cooperatively with Local 1224 to meet a common objective: a first contract that rewards pilots for the contributions you make every day to the success of our airline. This will result in significantly higher wages, enhanced benefits and improved scheduling practices while continuing to recognize Allegiant’s unique business model.
In that spirit, the next mediation sessions are currently scheduled for early February. We will come to the table prepared and ready to work as a team toward our objective. We are hopeful that the union will do the same.
If both sides work together, we can reach a deal with Local 1224 quickly. The uncertainty caused by not having a contract doesn’t benefit anyone at Allegiant.
I will continue to keep you updated and informed during this important process.
Thank you for your leadership and your airmanship in operating a safe airline and providing a great service to our passengers. I look forward to what we can achieve in 2016.
Fly Safe,
Steve

It's time for us to get released. That's the only way you'll see these guys change their tune. THAT'S when the shareholders will start to take notice and Maury will have to stop the games. Either that or watch as their wealth dissipates day by day. That's the only way we're going to be taken seriously. The company has shown time and time again that they can't be trusted to make the good faith decision, it's "not in their DNA".

That little "incident" whereby the MD-80s nose wheel started to rotate prematurely would have been a loss of all souls had the crew not recognized what was happening. That's probably 5 seconds between living and dying.

Share holders will also notice if your shoddy maintenance causes someone to get hurt or die. Allegiant makes so much money I find it hard to believe the company execs have no desire to see major improvements for the good of the company and shareholders. I don't understand why they would want to spoil a good thing by seeing the demise of the company and $$$ right before their eyes. The big 3 legacy carriers can absorb a fatal accident, I highly doubt Allegiant can.
