Where did you get that from??

It just seems more plausible than any one else buying us. Delta is too good for us. AA doesn’t even know we exist. UAL seems to be looking for an acquisition and needs more airbi. Maybe spirit or indigo but that seems like a long shot to me. But hey this is the internet anyone can say what they want and people can believe it or ignore it.

Worn out? I hear this a lot. We have some oldies, but our average Airbus fleet age significantly younger than United, Delta, and American Airbi. Even younger than JetBlue 320's and Frontier 319's... not by much though.

Delta 320: 23 years
319: 16.5 years

United 320: 20.2 years
319: 17.4 years

Allegiant 320: 12.1 years
319: 13.1 years


Just providing a little perspective.

Thanks for bringing this up...I get really tired of hearing about our “old airplanes” from everyone. When this year is over, we will have either the youngest of one of the youngest fleets in the country.

It’s never a bad time to dump bad representation.

Our EXCO is fine. Our Local and national leadership are wholly inadequate.

I agree. UA wants a low cost market share. I think buying NK or F9 would be too risky, we are the right size and have plenty of experience. On top of some good used ABs and capable pilots... but it could all just be some very dreamy thinking of me.
AS/HA/G4? I've heard that one as well...

Personally, I don't think a Sun Country hook up is out of the question. We now have ownership with very, very deep pockets, a former Allegiant executive at the helm, and the whole SY operation is being aggressively transformed into an ULCC model. Aggressive to the point that it makes our entire employee group wonder why... What is at the end of this timeline they're on?
Apollo Investment Group has $7 billion in assets. Frankly, as we stand now, we are SMALL potatoes for this wealthy investment group. There is more to the story on why they bought us. We're the first airline they've ever owned, and I don't think we're going to be the last. I wouldn't be surprised to see them buy another ULCC, just to merge us, and quickly create a rather large, competitive company.

Blahahahaha what are you drinking, get me some. United wants you like Delta wanted Comair.

For a large percentage of Allegiant’s pilots, myself included, that feeling is mutual.

Nice first post. :rolleyes:

Delta wanted Comair to destroy us. We were a competitor, not a partner.

More than 75% of passengers who flew into CVG on a CMR plane, left CVG on a Comair plane.

We were in talks to buy Spirit when DAL bought us. Mind you, Spirit was just a fledgling airline back in the late 90s. We would have become a big competitor to them. So they destroyed us.
