Thread: Allegiant Nation's Most Profitable Airline

Re: Allegiant Nation's Most Profitable Airline Here's the problem with a few of us in the thread. Conventional wisdom says that you should refrain from judging until you've walked a mile in someone's moccasins. Before I was a professional pilot, I had a particular perspective on the profession.

Re: Allegiant Nation's Most Profitable Airline I guess a couple months in the right seat of an RJ you magically learn it all through osmosis. I guess 6-12 month furloughed rj pilots just have the inside scoop on union's, work rules, etc. __________________ DHC-8-200 FA | AGI.IGI | CSEL.CMEL | CFIA.CFII.MEI | FlyJH Last edited by jhugz; Yesterday at 15:57 .
