This LOA is a barometer to see what a bunch of pushovers this pilot group is for C2015. Let's send a message we aren't.
What I want you to take away from this: we are worth much much more than what we're compensated. We are tremendously experienced, and work hard for this company.
Agreeing to a concessionary LOA is the absolute last thing we should be doing.
I would like us going into negotiations strong and with a resolve to get a mature contract that in not concessionary in nature.

My understanding from the allegiant guys is that it's the southwest contract or they're walking out. Strike could be as early as March 1

Whatever needed to be done with the mediator to get released is done from what my friend is telling me. They are just waiting for an answer (not sure a timeline on that). If they come back with the ok then it's 30 day clock. He said they would love for it to be march first (their highest block month) but will probably after that.

The main reason why the company wants this LOA is because pilots will have to do their DL on their off time, not on company time.
144 aircraft by 2021, say 2500 pilots. 2 days of DL not on duty vs 2 days of DL in a crew room, on duty, is 5000 days a year of lost productivity from your workforce where we are not moving planes and someone needs to move those planes.
Say the average pilot works 180 days of duty a year 5000/180= 28 pilots a year. So my math shows they need 28 pilots less a year just on savings for us doing it off the clock. This is a minimum, doesn't account for any conflict drops of any kind.
28 pilots will be 1st year FO pay pilots. Even on guarantee thats a million a year in savings just on wages, not counting healthcare, social security taxes, training, etc.
