I explain to them our work rules, show them my schedule, the ability to do whatever I want (95% of the time) with my schedule. It’s always funny to see the looks on their faces. People don’t know what they don’t know.
NK is my career destination without any doubt. I spent 2.5 years at Allegiant so NK isn’t my first “major” job.
Irregardless of slightly lower pay (current book) (than the Big 3) I’m still going to be sitting on a multi-million dollar retirement account.
Also, 2019, last full year pre Covid, only 24 guys or so moved on. That isn’t an accident. The people I've met and flown with are actually happy here. Don’t believe me?
I spent 2.5 years at Allegiant. Take a wild guess how many left each and every year? It was a significant number. The bottom was a revolving door for certain.
Anyone hired at an ULCC/LCC or Legacy is going to make a lot of money and have a great career. People need to stop the dick measuring contest - Legacy vs anyone else.
Way back in the day Southwest was an awful awful place to work and anyone that willingly stayed was considered a moron. Funny.

I've wondered if I'm only working 12 or 13 days a month with good seniority, making good money, and maybe most importantly still enjoying it, would I retire early?
As for the my airline is better than your airline ****ing contest, who cares as long as you're happy where you're at.

Timing is everything wherever you land and like RIPV3 mentioned, if your happy that’s the key to everything and no place is without fault and everyone has different priorities.
75 is quite the Hot Rod, 76 just fat enough or wide I guess - either way it is what it is.
