Allegiant 757s have 215 seats and the top pay is $153. Doesn't make our top 50 seat rate look that bad. The biggest thing I have heard about is the schedules. The guys I know that went there don't have very good schedules.

Then of course you have the other side of the coin regarding some reps..
Such as the Capt.. rep who is not medically cleared to fly right now on full time alpa leave when he should be on long term disability leave which is in the contract. He does however manage the aforementioned FB page so he's got that going for him.

The rep. you are referring to has spent the past 20 years trying to improve things here. So this just furthers my point. The apathetic majority become the victims, and those that actually get involved and help fight to make things better get attacked for their effort. JM is just saying what many of us think but don't say.
That's every argument I've ever heard at my airline. Pretty frustrating.

So generalizing an entire group of people as lazy and apathetic and bickering back and forth about is supposed to help the situation? What good does finger pointing and alienating everyone do to help the cause? It is not the least bit constructive towards improving this place. Nor does it encourages people to join you in your effort. Let me volunteer for a union who thinks I am apathetic and lazy. Yeah, let me get right on that. And our union wonders why they don't get support.

Yeah, and at least one Guy I talked to in the Crew Lounge left and actually came back to XJT. He said that as crappy as this place is, it's nothing compared to how incredibly miserable his Life became at Allegiant. He said that he actually had a V1 cut for real over there due their MX being so awful.

The apathetic membership on the ASA side is due to a MEC controlled by lifers over the last 10 years that has hung FO's and Resv Captains to dry. The only real fight this MEC fought was to keep the ASA PBS ... now who has the vested interest in that?
