Why would you not want industry leading from the most profitable airline in the entire world? What's wrong with you? You are selling poison.

Well you just made it extremely evident that your business and economic knowledge is bottom shelf, but that's fine! Allegiant is an extremely profitable airline by profit margin. Do you know what happens to that profit margin when you give us a contract like Delta's? It erodes into an unsustainable business model. I would LOVE to have the paycheck that Delta drivers have, but my expectations are realistic and long term. So if I wanted their pay, I wouldn't have turned in my double breasted jacket.

Because they’re senior & running out of time & just want to cut a deal now for higher hourly rates…who cares about the poor slobs who have to live & work under a substandard CBA.

Are you talking about the comparison pdf that was made? its outdated now and needs updated and shows how bad Allegiant is lacking in all parts of its contract, its bad.... really bad. I don't believe that any of the EXCO has stopped fighting for industry leading and industry best really bad and fake rumors. The Big 3 have Contracts that are over 500 pages long. The new Allegiant contract should be the same. Regional pilots have better schedules, pay, time off, vacation pay, sick pay, min day, trip, long term, short term, and duty rigs. There is no reason to come here right now.

what exco's have you talked to and have said this information? I don't believe you that its been abandoned.

Hahahaha you are absolutely drinking the kool aid on AR and urban. Did you know we just lost the another arbitration for key west and Jackson hole flights?? Yes, the company solicited volunteers to fly these flights, withheld the flying and only signed off pilots they wanted to none of which was FAA required and the union lost again. That’s at least 8 straight arbitration losses.

Why isn’t AR making videos about the best arbitration win record in the industry? We file hundreds of GRIEVANCES each month to boost AR’s sick ego and then lose arbitration after arbitration. I don’t know how any one can have any trust in this union leadership and our culinary attorney. You think he’s giving us a bargain - I could go out there and lose every arbitration.

But keep drinking that kool aid and be happy that you pay industry leading union dues - higher than any other pilot union in North America. And for what? To file grievances and lose arbitrations. What kind of strategy is this?? How can you have trust in this leadership group and drink all this kool aid I seriously don’t get it?

Holy shnikies...Tracy is that you?

Do you all in the c suite decline your multi million dollar bonuses for the profitability of the company? Of course you don't. You'll still make money...not as much but allegiant isn't getting away with cheap pilot labor any more. G4 already can't grow as we lose more than we can hire..how does that get you any bonus?

. You bragged to us about how much money you all make...so now pay up or shut down. >51% of this pilot group would rather see g4 fail than work for discounted rates with trash work rules. Where else can you go and get paid less, deal with trash work rules, and have a flight attendant boss tell you that you should accept less for the good of other people at work at allegiant? We don't need delta +1. Delta -1 plus industry standard work rules and I'm sure you could get a deal done.
