Please re-read my post. You have it backwards: The Airbuses ARE making profits, higher profits than the -80 and investors are benefiting, on every flight. BUT the operation isn't.
I disagree with your characterization of 'investment' as those profits are not reinvested back to the operation, they are funneled to shareholders.
Like the -80 and 757, the already old airbuses are becoming unreliable because of lacking investment in maintenance, training, parts, etc.
Allegiant is a get rich scheme. Nothing more.
Peace out
