Default stock price

The share price is most likely being pumped in advance of next weeks quarterly earnings report.

For those not wanting newbies this is a good thing, right? They were offering on site interviews basically and had a very limited showing.

Here's something for you to consider:

They fired the PIE Captain that had the evacuation back in June. After nearly two months of telling him nothing, they called and fired him over the phone today.
The system CP and HR simply told him that since the NTSB is now calling this an accident, the company basically feels it's best to terminate employment. Mind you, Crash/Fire/Rescue told the crew there was smoke coming from the airplane, which prompted the evacuation, but hey... I'm sure it was the summer heat and demanding schedule, right?

There is no contract, no arbitration this captain has available to him. At will. But hey it’s a fast upgrade. Poorly maintained aircraft. Incidents/accidents will be part of your experience at g4. Termination, put that one on your resume. This is very typical g4 management style. Throw the captain under the bus. From the ceo and coo on down; pilot hate is what you get.

Plane makes emergency landing in St. Pete

Allegiant released the following statement on the incident:

"At Allegiant, the safety of our passengers and crew is always our number one priority. Flight 864 with scheduled service from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) to Hagerstown, Md. departed PIE at 4:28 p.m. local time. Approximately eight minutes into the flight, the crew reported smoke in the cabin and returned to PIE, landing safely at 4:52. Upon landing, the crew acted swiftly to deploy emergency slides for passengers to deplane as quickly and safely as possible. Passengers are receiving full refunds for the flight as well as $200 off vouchers. Hotel stay will be provided for passengers that do not reside in the area. We are currently working to reschedule the flight to tomorrow."

They claim to be all about safely, and the Captain acted in the safest manner possible, and yet was fired for the same actions.

There are places that would give him a direct entry Captain seat on an MD-80 right now.

Actions speak louder than words. Management lies. G4 management hates pilots and unions. This is the kind of support one can expect. The maintenance is enough to make even ValuJet management blush. Oh wait.

Captains are being routinely summoned to Vegas now for ‘suspect’ write-ups. Pure intimidation, old school ValuJet. Some habits never die. And imagine the prospects for this guy. A big black stain that is much more difficult to deal absent an arbitration process.

Why are they calling it an "accident" if there was only smoke?

Did anyone who went get a call? I need to know whether to hate these guys because of how they treated me or whether to hate them for how they treated everyone.
