Every day that goes by without a contract is another day of lost additional compensation.
100-200K/year after a few years isn't enough for all those things plus a few toys ? Then go somewhere else

It's actually not if you live outside of BFE. Retirement, college, one car, mortgage, life insurance, preschool. No toys if you are the only income.

Like I said, go work somewhere else that pays more.

Take pride in your profession, the job you do, and fight the fight to raise the bar here, or you go somewhere else that settles for less than mediocrity.

pay will increase. once allegiant passes their TA, Spirit will be forced to increase pay, as well as Frontier. Otherwise they will lose pilots and fail to attract more. With the growth Spirit wants (and frontier), they need pilots, and the next 3-5 years will be crazy hiring at Legacies.

Take pride in your profession and fight to raise the bar? Dude, you've already undercut your profession by accepting employment at a place that pays 40% below prevailing wages.

It's like a scab saying don't cross the picket line.

Go somewhere else like United that pays 40% more and settle for less than mediocrity?

WUT?

No, Spirit will lower minimums . Where would you go as a 1500hr CFI, Mesa, Republic, or Spirit?

Let's focus on the issue at hand and quit fighting amongst ourselves. Once Allegiant votes their TA in, we'll be the lowest paid pilots in the industry, bar Frontier. And they haven't had ALPA behind them until very recently.
