Platinum safety!

Just some rough numbers:

Back a few weeks ago I think Allegiant had what? 3 engine failures/shutdowns in 5 days?

(One thing Allegiant loves to do is claim that having to shut down an engine in flight is totally different than an actual failure, which is complete nonsense since it puts the flight at the exact same risk of having a dual engine failure.)

So take Delta for example. If one extrapolates out the data to match that of a full size 'air line' with a fleet count of 805 aircraft at mainline (Delta's fleet count per wikipedia), they would have had 32 engine failures/shutdowns in 5 days! If that happened you can bet it would be a big issue with the media, the flying public and the FAA!

32 engine failures in 5 days! Does this sound safe to you Disco? If it does I would like to hear your explanation when you're not too busy threatening people and bragging about your fast upgrade.

I hope things change at Allegiant, because there are many good people working there, but I'm not sure the customers realize what they are getting into when the get on those planes.
