We know all that, I've been involved in aviation and aircraft maintenance probably much longer than you and others here can likely say that too. Your posts read like an immature 26 year old junior wonder.

The point of the news story was not just about that particular maintenance issue but they told of the many other concerns regarding Allegiant this year. This shows that the media (or at least that reporter) is aware of the many shoddy incidents and questionable happenings at Allegiant. It's about the whole picture, not just one incident.

Why are you getting so riled up, are you a part-owner in the business or something? You act as though you are personally being attacked. Guilty conscience maybe? Just fly the plane and stop defending the airline's honor like it's your virgin sister - it isn't. Some people need to calibrate their mouth to the size of their experience.
