I agree 100%. The way it is written is good. Also, the fact it cannot change on a whim is a plus too...

Oh yeah, a Vet too...not sure what they are looking for but apparently I'm not it..

Just curious, why Allegiant with those credentials?

The worst contractual work rules in the industry+no pay protection for fatigue calls=no vote from me.

Well, that's a fair question (by the way, I was not a Pilot in the Navy, so all my time is civilian). Quite honestly, I like the home basing scenario and the possibility of a shorter upgrade. I'm late 40's so it really helps me to maximize my pay before retirement (if all goes well with your contract).

Thanks, in all honesty, I don't see me as a "Delta" kind of a guy, no disrespect to them, but it's a cultural thing.

Which is interesting because if they took the time to actually interview me they would learn that it is not my intention to go anywhere due to my age and that I am interested in them for home basing skd and shorter upgrade.

I would feel more comfortable if the last word of this section was contribution and not pay.

This was addressed during the roadshow, would anticipate some action on it

If you can get to a meet and greet you may have an opportunity to explain why your interested. I would say most pilots over the last few months that received an interview attended one. I think the next one is in Dallas in a week or so.

Also in the past people got the TBNT email and a couple days later got a call.
