Caveat: this was a topic of conversation between a couple of people and I was curious who was telling the truth.
2 years of sitting there across the table with their arms folded and now all of sudden they want to hammer out a deal in DC? It's painfully clear that they have zero intention of taking the process seriously. The "oh, but we wanted to meet but the big, mean IBT wouldn't" is just a desperate attempt to garner sympathy just on the off-chance there is an Allegiant pilot left without a fully functional brain.
