Plus, your assertion is incorrect. If the same scarcity applies to all companies why are the regionals having a harder time attracting candidates and the legacies are awash in them? People aren't hardware. Experience counts and, thus, inequality exists.
To be clear, I am for a single union. All are paid the same for like equipment and seat wherever you work. One contract for ALL. I'm also for a single training standard so a pilot could change companies without breaking stride - he'd already be trained to a common standard set by the union. Seniority would be universal; a single seniority list for U.S. based pilots. No longer would we be locked into place at our respective airlines. We could move at will and would no longer have to start over from the bottom.

Relative scarcity. If the legacies are getting better qualified pilots than Allegiant and everyone is supposedly doing the same job with the same equipment an inequality exists.

We do all have the same training standard, its in the 142 training regulations.

Do a little research on the company website, have a good reason why you want to leave your current employer and join Allegiant, where/what airframe you wish to fly, and be able to talk comfortably about your resume. Lasts about 30 minutes, half the time spent smokin' and jokin'. You should get an email within a week to set up an interview date in LAS.

I was outlining how the market should correct in my first post: if Allegiant can't find enough people to hire they need to pay more, i.e. the people THEY want to hire (at the price they want to pay, etc.) are becoming scarce. It is a relative scarcity, however, because the legacies are not experiencing the same problems finding pilots with the experience they desire (they pay more thus more are interested). My statement, "If you simply adhere to market principles, the higher pay should go to the group whose services are scarcer", is an axiom. I see how it reads, however. Since pilots across this industry perform essentially the same job it erases any difference that would justify a pay differential. But, what accounts for the difference in compensation between Allegiant and the legacies?
Guys, this is it in a nutshell:
GOOD for the Allegiant pilots! They are just about ready to complete their first collective bargaining agreement. This will address the ability of the company, in a positive way, to attract additional and more qualified applicants. It has been a long time coming BUT was delayed for longer than necessary due to the interference of anti-union shills (and one cult of personality) within the pilot group. Market -inexperienced pilots in the Allegiant pilot group believed in these impostors who were out for themselves or were just plain stupid in thinking that good ole MG would take care of them. Here's what else I'm saying: Maury Gallagher is a giant piece of sh!t. His product sucks, the treatment of his employees and passengers is just terrible. Additionally, his record was out there for all to enjoy! He presided over the deadly joke that was ValuJet, after all. That fact was never hidden yet the pilot group there believed in his charity. Wow! FINALLY, FINALLY the pilot group understood who he actually was, came together and unified.
It is the delay that is troubling.

In any event, you'll know soon enough. Basically, this is our one shot. It's the companies job to make us want to stay.
