The parking of most of our aircraft and the prospect of going back to regional FO wages indefinitely. A free type rating with time on type is extremely valuable overseas, particularly PIC time. There are worse places to be than Allegiant, believe it or not.

Speaking of pilot pushing. Has anyone heard the one about a certain las captain who turned back to vegas because he couldn’t make it to cruise on two art deferred motors?

It was probably some sort of job action orchestrated by the evil Teamsters....

Ha! Classic stuff. I never understood how the FAA is ok with G4 MX deferring the ART when the ART isn't broken?

I know of one plane (422NV) that couldn't hold altitude at FL330. Didn't turn back in this instance, but wouldn't surprise if there was more than one. This CA almost got an FAA letter for it. Amazing. 422NV is red sticker and both engines go right up to the limit. The right one likes to try to go over. This plane makes me nervous...it's only a matter of time.

THIS!!!!!!

So G4 has only had 3 engine failures this year-is that the same math that they used to come up with the 21 average days off that pilots get?

Nice try, newbie. No one is talking about logbook discrepancies on the ground or looking the other way and (knowingly) taking an unsafe aircraft. I have yet to fly with anyone willing (or stupid enough) to do such a thing. What him and everyone else are talking about are the in-flight issues/emergencies...smoke in the cabin/cockpit, loss of radar, engine "issues", etc. These things are happening AFTER the aircraft becomes airborne. You keep suggesting people are (knowingly) taking unsafe aircraft... I'm not sure why you're having such a difficult time understanding the difference between the two?? 😏

Get your head out of the sand.

Ah, so things don't break at other airlines. Thanks for clearing that up.

Some of you seem to think that getting on APC and doing nothing but badmouthing the company you rely on to pay your bills is a good idea. Some of you seem foolish enough to believe that if only you trash talk Allegiant enough, nobody will come here and management will come to us bowing and scraping begging us to accept Delta +10%. Let me be the first to tell you that that little fantasy of yours is just that, a fantasy.

I bet if we were offered a really great contract tomorrow, 99% of the comments on here would be about what a great place Allegiant is and how wise you were to come here. You would probably get bombarded with requests from friends to walk their resumes in. It'll be a complete 180. All of the sudden "its a great place to make a career". Your going to look pretty stupid telling the same people you convinced what an unsafe hell hole you worked at has magically transformed as soon as you get a few more bucks in your pocket.

If it is so much better at regionals and everywhere else, then leave. Don't walk, run!! It's so unsafe and your life is on the line every time you set foot in one of our planes right? You look like idiots bu staying. Toiling away as keyboard warriors bashing your company yet too stupid to leave it. I get it if you have a bad day and spout off once and a while. It happens to everyone. Some of you guys seem to have made a second job out of coming on here and going on a witch hunt for anyone who disagrees with you in the slightest. Wouldn't your time be better spent looking for a new job if you felt so terribly unsafe every moment of every day?

Jeez, you're dense. I don't equate multiple engine failures and other inflight emergencies to what goes on at other airlines.

What's really really funny, is all this coming from a guy who ripped on Frontier for "low pay" and "crappy bases". You're a real piece of work and the irony is oh-so-thick.
