Ya think?

Doing ETOPS is the kind of operation that requires putting a lot of time, money, training, maintenance, and the right operations people to operate well. None of those were things they have ever done or wanted to do.
And there you have it.

Again an anathema for Allegiant. How they got over there in the first place is a mystery. Probably the same POI that allows them to continue flying with an average of one engine fire/failure/rollback a month. Not to mention the flight control rigging problems...
How long before Allegiant replaces Valujet in the pilot's lexicon?
