Why does everyone here think they are an accountant for the company? Easyjet is no Allegiant. They are totally different and will never struggle to attract crews or passengers.
One aircraft overnight is 12 hotel rooms. So $1200. Parking charges for small places like FWA and TOL are insignificant. The fleet utilization would go way up with that small expense. But I guess every other airline has got it wrong. Allegiant will just continue to amble along with no overnights and pay those high happy payments on the Boeings while flying 60% of what we could fly.
I'm not an airline executive, but neither are any others on here. But I do have common sense, and that tells me that we are home every night right now because it suits the company. As soon as they change their mind/plan, it will change. They will probably hire a travel company to book/arrange accommodations and transportation for the crews.
We are not that kind of travel company that deals in aircraft and hotels etc. We are the kind that.... we are an IT.... we are a travel company that........ that doesn't have to explain itself to anyone. So there.
