They were also going to build an EFB that we were going to sell to other companies, turned out to be a piece of crap. Aside from the practical realities of making these things work, it is a great insight into the thoughts of our CEO/President, whatever he is now. He is damn near a billionaire. Allegiant has been consistently profitable. That's still not enough. Instead of focusing on improving our product and rewarding those who have helped the company get here, he focuses on how to screw just a few more minimum wage workers out of a job. Just damn, these upper management types are sick with greed. It's pathological.
