It's true.
FAA temporarily halted Allegiant's FO MD-80 types because of excessive busts. 4 last week, 1 now faces a review board.
Apparently the FAA agreed to resume so long as they were present for each Type. FOs were told to expect an FO PC oral, given a 1 day class instead of the normal 5 days, then showed up to a full type oral.
Airlines have known about this deadline for years but just like Merlot, Allegiant waited until the deadline to slam together another rushed, uncoordinated charade that resulted in a nice little pink under the tree for these FOs. Way to support the troops Allegiant. Merry Christmas.
And happy holidays to the passengers that will be enjoying Christmas at an airport as a result of this self-induced crew shortage
