Gotta love Darcy...

Hasn't the FAA historically backed up pilots who grounded flights en masse in the interest safety because they didn't feel maintenance was being properly conducted? Would certainly move negotiations along...

Pled the 5th (refused aircraft) along with me, I supported his decision, and we got paperwork over it. Capt went rounds with Union, and both contacted the FAA. The Fed's basically said they don't deal with company displine, which I thought was B.S., and won't even look in to the matter.

If Jim Cramer is talking about it then it seems to have hit mainstream press and now investors.

As a pax, I always keep my seatbelt on...though after takeoff, I loosen it most of the way to get comfortable.

Hundreds of pilots poised to leave Allegiant Air - Story

Allegiant made the news again. Hundreds of Pilots poised to leave due to unsafe business practices. Are you guys really trying to get out? I was thinking of leaving my regional after 9 years to go there, but I hear soo many bad things. I don't think its worth risking ruining my career.... It would be much safer for you guys to leave and come to a regional again haha. ExpressJet is hiring! :P

With legacy paying $140/hr year 3 narrowbody FO, 16% retirement and profit sharing; it's hard for any low cost carrier pilot with not much vested in their mid forties or younger to turn that down. I haven't met too many on the top third or even top half of the list with current apps out.
