"Allegiant will adapt and fix the problems at some point."
The fact that management is capable of "adapt and fix the problems" is laughable - when has that ever happened? I am sure management would love to try and do more overnights but they are incapable of running that type of operations imo. Management had a monster Q4 by running a relatively clean operation.
I have zero confidence in management running overnights and a more complex operation. I have the uttermost confidence that management will do whatever it takes to keep the stock high (see recent share buybacks). That is why i believe it is very unlikely we will see a dramatic shift away from day trips.
