If you like your new job better, great. I'm happy for you. Enjoy living out of your rollaboard and eating airport food every day for all I care. I meet every requirement to go to a legacy and I choose to stay at Allegiant anyway. The thought of doing 4 day trips again makes me want to puke. Crew rooms, airport food and dodging annoying FA's on overnights also has the same effect. I actually am home enough now to enjoy some of my old hobbies again and I sleep next to my wife every night. I never worry anymore about someone breaking into my house while I'm on a trip and my family is alone. Peace of mind and QOL is more important to me than the extra money I'd make at a legacy. To each their own.

If you want to stay at Allegiant with it's subpar management, subpar maintenance, crappy schedules, and running things like Valu Jet, I hope it works for you.
I hope your not junior, because your time at home may not last as long as you think.
I can also tell you one of the reasons I left was for peace of mind. I don't believe the company can survive long term operating the way they are operating now.
I don't believe that will ever change as long as the current CEO is in charge.

Paris has some descent restaurants. Pasta is pretty good in Rome. Argentina makes a passable steak.
On a typical intn'l trip, which is what you are critiquing, you spend about 3 hours total in your home base airport. You don't eat there unless you just want to. Usually you just wait to get the first class menu to make your choice from.
Hey man, if you like it where you are and it works for you, great, mazel tov. If you are going to try and make intn'l widebody sound bad, you've got an uphill climb. There is, right now, a 3 day trip on the 777 in ATL worth almost 32 hours. Do the math on that, figure your days off and tell me how many days in your bed and time for hobbies you end up with.

Maybe you should get a therapy for the issues you have letting go. You're clearly suffering from anger management issues.

I'm not sure about the incoherant question about nights in my own bed. I spend all of them in my own bed. I'm sure you love being a widebdy pilot. How many years did it take to hold that? I'm holding 320 captain in well under 2 years.
You appear to assume I have no knowledge of legacy life. I had a crash pad full of United guys at my old regional. It didn't sound as good to me as what I have now. Whatever works for you, knock yourself out.
