remodel that is a tributes to his office space that is used for 2118 business. I bet the camera and computer probably total 5-7k of total expense and the rest is an estimate of improvements made. Sony a7 and a computer with a higher end graphics card will easily get you there
So we had to pay $25k for AR’s housing improvements?? This absurdity and you must be AR’s side piece or AR himself to justify and defend that expense at union expense. That is down right dishonest and unethical.

You’re blind faith and defense of AR is truly astonishing. Legitimate question: is there anything AR has ever done as EXCO that you didn’t 100% agree with??

All the hired guns Jerry Glass and his FH attorneys. MG brought in a whole new negotiating team like a real professional. All the deadbeat Allegiant management types are on the sideline.

Meanwhile, AR still hasn’t hired anybody that actually knows what the NMB is. Just our culinary attorney who loses every arbitration even though AR guarantees they are obvious contract violations. SAP, Key West, rental cars, segment by segment pay, etc.

Yes, there are absolutely things AR has done that I don’t approve of, and things I think 2118 could do better and things I would like to see them do with the money we have in the bank. (Better NH outreach, additional legal counsel, base organizing and information events ect). I’ve called him and personally let him know my thoughts on those things. 25k is cheap for a home office remodel and cheaper than having to lease a larger office space or pay for more hotels and travel. (Don’t ask me how much a fence cost me this year, Andrew got a bargain if he got
the office done for 25k) chances are much of this is just a paper, non cash expense, ie depreciation.

Allegiant spends upwards of 40k a year on hotels for some individuals. 25k so Andrew has a space to do his work from, during a time when most work was done over zoom, seems like money well spent to me. Im
just not outraged over this, my office equipment expense for my own business was over 50k this year and 30k in 2021. to me his numbers make sense

You all would be well advised to ignore this person and demand your union negotiate for Delta+1%. Because just like in 2016, you'll quickly be leapfrogged by everyone again then spend another 5-10 years as the lowest paid airline pilots in the USA.
There’s a few management tools/wannabes on here. Some of the “insider” info and criticisms of AR from one particular user have at times been laughably inaccurate. This same person also seems to think that you guys don’t deserve a great new contract (you do) and that pilots should come enjoy the “be at home every night” benefit that exists only at Allegiant (fallacy and merely a self-serving argument).

We’re all moving forward together or it’s over.

Sorry to ask such a half-wit question that no one really knows the answer to, but any guess on when a new contract could realistically go into effect? I live in Indy and would love to drive to work every day; just can't afford the first year pay.

1 to 2 years. We start mediation in April.

Oh wow that's pretty long. How much money could I make the first year if I fly a lot and pick up open time?

Odds are this will not be possible. You’ll have a reserve line figure on $4,000/mo.
