Yeah. I definitely wasn’t aware. Crazy. RIP

Cheers, unlike you who couldn't wait to come on the g4 forum after the 60 minute piece and take shots at US, I don't think you'll see any g4 pilots going to the swa forum taking shots at you all. You've shown your level of class. I don't believe you when you say you pray we never have to go through this. You have all the animosity in the world for allegiant. However, I promise nobody hear wished this on wn.

I sure don’t believe you when you say nobody there wished this on SWA. I have no animosity toward g4. You guys were ****ed about the 60 minutes story that YOU all created. That’s all I was pointing out. You caused that because you let your union run with it during negotiations. Sorry for calling you out. I’m sure now you need a safe space. EAD!!

Is anyone curious as to why John Goglia was relied upon so heavily in the 60 Minutes segment as an expert and yet they didn't disclose he is a paid expert witness in the wrongful termination lawsuit on behalf of Cpt. Kinzer?

Seems like a bit of a conflict.

No animosity? Really?

Probably because Allegiant was afforded every opportunity to be interviewed and supply their own "experts" for the story but refused. So you have nobody to blame but yourselves for this one sided story.

Also about the Union leader, it seems to me he was just relaying the concerns he heard from you the pilots over the past few years. You know, the concerns you voiced loudly in order to leverage more money for your contract. Now that you got your pay day you just want to sweep it all under the rug? lol, give me a break.

People are telling you, but you refuse to listen. Things can change in 2 years (and our contract). We have updated and replaced 70% of our fleet with Airbus in less than 2 years. By years end we are going to be all Airbus by replacing 31 MD80’s in that time period. We also have brand new airplanes. We have completely gutted our maintenance/management and replaced it with good guys. Our reliability has increased exponentially and I wouldn’t be surprised if 60 minutes did a follow up in 2 years saying how we would be one of the safest airlines out there. Pretty good considering our size. Yes there is still more to accomplish -Only time will tell.

I think Allegiant pilots are doing everything they can to make it as reliable as possible. We just get frustrated when people throw out facts from close to 2 years ago, because a lot can change in that time frame, especially in the Aviation industry. Regurgitating past practices on a routine basis and shaming us for it does nothing but light a flame of unnecessary drama. It takes time to change, but we are headed in the right direction.

I think 60 minutes needs to do a hit piece on the major airlines and their DC10’s. Those engines keep falling off I’m sure it’s due to their shoddy maintenance.

That’s about right for their time frame.
