I personally think the growth is gonna come, and new bases, but slower than advertised. I’m expecting to be MSP based for the next 3-5 years.
A potential future outcome is a SC and Allegiant merger. MSP becomes Allegiants largest base. Allegiant is going to be taking first 737s this year and will become a dual fleet.

Sunny has been a few months away from an Allegiant merger for a few years now!

Legitimately a possibility one day, but I sure hope not.

63 airplanes total with those yet to be delivered. Dragging feet on cargo flying, trying not to increase cargo side until passenger utilization is higher (2-3 years, maybe). Attrition manageable, training situation gradually getting better. PBS "hopefully" still sometime this year. 14k credit hours in July. Still room to get charter volume back to 2019 levels if/when we can staff it. Record revenue during first quarter. Rolling 12 month revenue +$1b.

June has 15.5k of credit. I’m sure July will have more than June.

If the company truly wanted PBS quickly, they would actively be holding meetings weekly with Alpa to get the ball rolling.

Any idea what was in the FA proposal that pushed them to shoot it down?

literally nothing was in it. They are almost 10 years out of date from the last contract. Some of the Fa’s said it as like 2 bucks an hour. total slap in the face. I think the company is happy. Cheap labor and they still have no problem hiring people at food stamp wages. Now the quality has gone down the crapper but they don’t care. As long as they can pass the FAA training they don’t care.

I don't understand why they put up with this or even apply for the job in the first place. For travel benefits? Our benefits are a complete joke compared to other airlines. You can go work somewhere else for a livable wage and just buy confirmed tickets if you want to travel.

If you are in your 20's and doing it for a year or two, just to say "i did it" ....fine. But I've seen many in their 40's + come in. The stories I hear from some FAs , their QOL and way of living is just sad. It is mind boggling to me that some commute for this job. All while the CEO and all their board members sit in their lake palace. Welcome to corporate America. Shameful.

FA's are just as essential and important as pilots. I would fully support them walking off the job for the company pulling this 💩.
