There is absolutely no way that is "great reporting". You need something slightly more concrete.
The incident is still absolutely ridiculous, and by all accounts Allegiant has some serious questions to answer, but that report was far from good journalism...
So you cherry picked the 5 second reference to who the pilots were to discredit the report? I don't disagree that the news team had no evidence and it was pure speculation on their part who the pilots were but the other 3:30 of the report were accurate and even used terminology correctly. I've been a part of and seen plenty of news reports that looked nothing like the truth that happened but in this case it doesn't appear they are missing much.
