Default On the job injury

I recently got hurt on the job at Allegiant. HR advised me that I would have to follow my state's workman's comp policy and they would not pay protect me nor give me my guarantee moving forward. Workman's comp is a joke in most states. We have no language in our contract protecting us from an on the job injury. Most Regional airlines have better language. Think twice about coming to Allegiant as my situation has me second guessing my decision to accept a job at Allegiant.

In retrospect, would have been best (if possible) to say you were injured off the job?

I guess, I was in a different situation where I was not able to wait until I got home to say I was injured.

We have had several pilots find themselves in this situation over the last few years and been been vocal about it. It's unfortunate that they get treated this way.

Unfortunately at Allegiant if you get hurt on the job, your best recourse might be to lawyer up and see what the legal options are. I think one of our former coworkers had to do that when they got rear ended in a company rental car out in Sanford.

With the pay rates and work rules that piedmont will usher in for the regionals. G4 will now be a career regression.

This is what absolutely infuriates me. Flow and better pay vs what we offer?

Everyone is complaining about not being able to upgrade or not being able to grow. IMO, that's optimistic. We're going to be downgrading in a year if they don't stem the attrition and get some carrots to recruit with.

All this talk about JR wants to do this or needs to do that….do they have a choice? The ability to attract pilot applicants continues to evaporate. They’re about to have two fleets they can’t staff & an un-achievable growth plan. They’ll park/get rid of airplanes, close stations & domiciles, and steadily downsize the airline because they won’t have a choice.
