Sorry for my skepticism, but this site is full of trolls. This seems like flame bait, especially for a first post.
But in case you are serious, you should have also found direct flights from SDF to FLL on an allegiant airbus. That may be more convenient for you.
This topic is being beat to death on multiple threads. If you are who you say you are, please take the comments with a grain of salt. This is a pilot b1tch board. Nothing more.
That said, I feel allegiant is a safe airline, I adhere to strict standards, and so does every pilot I know.
As to your comment about young or rejected pilots, and why would someone want to work here, a major draw here is that we don't overnight/layover. We are home in our own bed every night, unlike every other airline. Because of this, many pilots seek this company out and stay. For many, that's worth more than direct compensation.
