So that is a lie and not a fact.

every base besides IWA has people hired within the last year.

you don’t have to spend each day commuting that would be a personal choice. On Monday a guy flew into my base morning of, (having picked up “overtime”) and flew home 30 minutes after our block in.

have I debunked enough of your lies yet? Can I now start personally attacking you?

also one thing everyone on here agrees on, (besides you because you’ve been miserable for years? Is that everyone they work with here is great and the enjoy working with their coworkers. I haven’t heard the same about your glorious airline, quite the opposite.

enjoy your commute! ;-)
im starting to think your wife made you take the job so she could start boinking someone else.
Lmao! Dude… I haven’t worked there for 4 g
years now. My class of 12 has 3 people left. Why do you think that is?

What Marg, myself and others have said isnt BS. Anyone coming here needs their head examined.

New to this, but wondering how long it takes to switch bases currently if I were to be hired?

The company hired pretty much half the TN ANG pilots and Im pretty sure the newest ones hired this year already hold TYS. They aint leavin.

There ARE people who have been hired who live in Flint. Allentown has pilots who *gasp* live there. A couple even own local distilleries. Heck, one is a retired Delta pilot!

Our bases arent huge and the company WILL find pilots who live in junior bases who want to stay. Their biggest mistake was hiring young, no degree, no PIC pilots thinking they wouldnt/couldnt leave. They have changed their hiring strategy and sure, not everyone will stay, but they are finding people who truly want to be here.

Some of the biggest whiners on the facebook page are either unhirable elsewhere or have already failed at their interview attempts.

Ill be the first to admit my crystal ball was wrong if years go by without a CBA. If we get one sooner will you do the same?

That's exactly how negotiations work. Whom ever has the most to lose will cave first, unless one side is just weak. I hope he does hold the line. Nothing like a sellout who says they will accept subpar just so they don't have to restart.

If allegiant gets ahead in the airline industry because they have sub par rates, why should they survive? If they are taking pax away from good paying carriers, that threatens the jobs at those good paying carriers. No business should benefit from artificially low labor, including G4. So they either pay up or should be shut down. ULCC's and LCCs have a place in the market because they identify markets which are not served by other carriers, and because they are creative in their revenue streams. Not because they can get a away with paying half the rate for their skilled labor.

Those who perpetuate that industry without fighting for better are the problem.

Why won’t you just say no to anything substandard?

This might sound a little provocative to some, so humor me; could the company offer year 2 pay to fill classes? With all the 100K bonuses elsewhere it seems like a reasonable way to stop the bleeding temporarily.

Nope they sure can't. 1st year pilot will eat the same poo as everyone else until this company decides to pay us what we are worth

We don’t want classes filled until new contract.

Year 2 pay is still below all the other carriers when you factor in low monthly credit on reserve , 401k matching, vacation,bidding and all the other parts of the contract the union is fighting for. A industry leading contract will fix the shortage.
