I heard they installed rat traps at Town Center, but had to remove them because they'd find upper management stuck in them in the mornings.

 

Neither will most legacy guys. When your wife leaves you after deciding she would rather bang her personal trainer than wait for you to come home 4 days later. She will take half your retirement money and buy her new boy toy a sports car with it. Enjoy your overnights!

 

Oh god! Mav! Nooooooooooooooo!

 

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.

 

For someone that is so happy to no longer be at Allegiant, you spend a unhealthy amount of time trolling a thread about a company you no longer work for. Maybe you're not as happy as you think? Perhaps this thread is therapy for yourself? One would think a happy legacy guy would put his old airline he was so unhappy with behind him and never look back.

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

 

Well chief, I eat all my meals at home with my family. On my out and backs I bring food from home. I never have to worry about not liking the food on the menu.

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.

 

Actually my wife is on my overnight. Sorry you were such a bad pilot that only G4 would hire you. There are other options like McDonald's. I bet they have a much better retirement than G4. And, most legacy pilots DO get 17% without contribution. You are the mediocrity poster boy. Watch out for those gay FA's! They might touch you....

 

A captain that makes low FO pay anywhere else...

 

Don't forget to pack a patch kit, in case your "wife" starts leaking.

 

Calm down buddy. I'm responding to you. I didn't come on here bashing Allegiant. YOU are the one that lit into 777 flying like it was the worst thing imaginable. My food comment was in direct response to you saying we eat airport food all the time, when that's rarely, if ever the case.

If my question about nights in one's own bed was incoherent, I apologize. My meaning is that with the huge efficiency on the 777 or 747 and things like that, it's very easy to get 18,19,20 days off. I like my overnights. It's like a free mini-vacation. But I do know guys like you seem to be, who don't want any part of it. They bid nothing but day trips, which, by-the-way, you can do here too if you've got the seniority.

And no, having crash pad mates doesn't mean you know what it's like. You have to actually do it to know. Some guys hate it. They are the small minority, but they exist. It's not for everybody, for sure. The beauty is, you can always bid to domestic, no problem.

How many years did it take to hold that? Well new hires are getting the ER and our most junior narrowbody captain is a 2014 hire, so....for now....not long at all.
