You mean the air return, overweight landing and evacuation of a perfectly good airplane on a taxiway? Yes, he got fired. Blew both bottles into good engines. Nothing wrong with the airplane at all. Rumors went insane over this one but you could pick this one to apart with all the bad decisions or say he did the conservative thing. It was a huge mistake, let's not defend bad decisions....our union didn't. The history of allegiant is filled with guys who should have been fired four times over but stick around. It's very hard to get fired here and the guys who have, really gave the company a silver platter full of reasons.
