If people think AA's engine shutdown rates are high, they should look at Allegiant! I am curious, can anyone on here from AA shed light on roughly how many engine failures we are talking about recently? At Allegiant, we have had quite a few these past few months (I think at least 4 or 5), and we only have ~40 aircraft.
