I would not bet against this guy. If I were Allegiant management I'd be keeping an eye on this. Levy ain't no dummy.
From a business standpoint I completely agree. From a pilot perspective I may be less inclined to go all in... Allegiant has come a long way, but let’s not forget they got to where they are after years of poor pay, and even poorer maintenance practices. Not sure I’d want to go through those growing pains. Then again, it will all depend on many circumstances...

Moxy however would be a different story for me, JMHO.
