maintenance from employee perspective
#11
Easy now. For those of us who flew at Allegiant during the MD80 era there was some validity to his point.
The Airbus has changed Allegiant for the better and I feel safe as do all my family and friends that fly here.

Wow. Didn't think I'd see the moderators trolling on this site.
Glad to know I fly for a crappy airline that only hasn't killed anyone by pure luck. How's the view from up on thathigh horse over there? I'm sure your commentary about allegiant is from your experience working at SkyWest and Alaska. I'm sure that entitles you to shoot down our first hand accounts of the safety issues here being massively overblown. Yes, by all means thanks for your input that we work for a lucky, unsafe airline. I'm sure that will steer more business to your airline.
I'd love to see some data on how many issues Delta and American had with MD series aircraft until the end, but wait, they have a PR machine that tamps them down and thousands of other flights on other types to dilute the numbers. I suspect that if Delta was an all MD airline, their numbers would be very close to ours were. But by all means, tell us again how lucky and unsafe we are/were. I seem to recall an MD incident in the Pacific on your exalted airline that didn't end up so lucky too. Don't throw that stone just yet.
Oh, by the way, the OP said "from employee perspective", so extra points for your stellar reading & comprehension since you're not an employee and clearly have little perspective.

What scares me is some of the regionals with a 2000hr PIC and a 1000hr SIC flying a CRJ200 or ERJ145 held together with speed tape and deferral stickers in crap weather and complex airspace. But nobody's talking about that because I guess Allegiant is an easy target.

Speaking of being on their high horse.
Guess you were just born into the left seat. I would say at least my airline we have a highly safe operation. Our maintenance is fantastic and I have not once felt like I was in an aircraft unsafe, or with a crew that wasn't competent. I guess even you too are capable of looking down on other pilots regardless of first hand knowledge.

Call it what you want, however you did the exact thing you were complaining to the other poster about. I have no skin in this game, as it doesn't look like Allegiant will even be an option, I was just calling it out like it read.
