It would be a shame, but that many people getting sick could shut down the airline for a while.
Cough...Cough....and I'm NOT saying that I don't 'possibly' share your view/idea....

If you 'happen' to work for Allegiant, just a little advice.....There was a "Major Carrier" back in Feb 1999 that was held legally/$$ 'liable' for their action's by way of doing what you suggested above.

Moral of the story, probably NOT a 'good idea' to put those 'thoughts aloud' in writing just incase it is put into motion, and the company goes a looking at a later date. May want to think about "smoke signals" when kick'in around that idea.

......Just say'in.

The Teabagger is a shareholder so he is entitled to the cookie. That is until the socialists completely take over and steal the hard earned cookies and give them to idiots in exchange for power/votes.

You completely missed the point. But whatever...

Content on web boards such as this can be subpoenaed and they can find out who's who on here if they really want to. A US Airways pilot was fired a few years back (got his job back) for content he posted on another website.

If indeed there is a job action they will come looking for you. SoCalGuy is right.

Since you missed the point I'll ask why would you denote union membership with a deragatory reference to socialist.

"....why would you denote union membership with a deragatory reference to socialist."

Probably because he is a fascist corporatist just like the ones that attempted to overthrow a Constitutionally elected president in 33-34 until their plot was thwarted by war hero Smedley Butler.

Yeah I'm not going to advertise any of my personal views, but I do hope that those workers down there are able to find a good job at another airline if they don't go with the service provider. I've been hearing that most are not going to apply with the new company.
