This should be interesting: 8 years of screwing around and now Republic wants a deal. Must be their stock plummeting to less than a quarter of its value in a year BECAUSE OF PILOT SHORTAGES. Best of luck to the Republic guys and my former colleagues at Allegiant.

I think that the more relevant point is that Allegiant management needs to pay close attention to what Ford and Harrison's advice has done to Republic.

F'n H's tactics created such a toxic environment, such mistrust that It's highly unlikely that Republic's pilots will ever vote yes on anything other than a mind-blowing TA unless the CEO is replaced.

And of course they also spend non-flight time related to the job. (or is that bad math??)

I've talked to more than one parking valet in Las Vegas that makes considerable more than that, just parking cars for people.

Good point.....I've always said you won't see MG's signature on a pilot contract at Allegiant. I anticipate a management change, a merger, or a very long strike.

I disagree.... With that logic, we would still have a $79 an hour Captain rate.

We'll get a contract with MG at the helm. He can't afford to let us strike long.

I do have a question though... If we've TA'd all non economic sections as SH's email said, why has the union not said the same?

Question from an outsider, not really relevant to the contract discussion. More of a curiosity, but what is the average flight time people are doing a month at Allegaint these days?

Last I knew, depending on the month and base, 70-110 hours per month.

Depends on the base and the month.

I've averaged about 78 hours a month since Ive been here, but I've sat very little RSV. There are no requirements to call RSVs in reverse seniority here and as a result things here are very balanced. Don't expect to go over guarantee if your on RSV.

FWIW, here in FL the company works me pretty hard so I embrace the slow months.
