Alignant Air where "Unravel is our deal"
Best of luck in negotiations. It's said that it's easier to find a job when you've got a job. Great job on the abort! Several years ago was just the opposite. The penny pincers bought dial a flap data bargain basement. Turns out it was all wrong as we had several takeoffs at high flap settings where the plane wouldn't rotate until you got on the stab switch or suitcase handle for up trim. Aborts weren't an option as the length of the runways necessitated the higher flap setting(s).

This is a major story that is developing at the moment. Great job abandoning the takeoff which must have been a split second decision. The nose came up and they couldn't lower it. Had the crew waited much longer it might have taken off with no way to recover. This is the kind of hidden maintenance defect that worries me every time I fly. It's crazy how much trust we have in the system.

I don't think many people realize these people were seconds away from their death. This is HUGE and is indicative of a larger problem. There's no way I'd put myself or my family on an Allegiant flight right now, and it's got nothing to do with the pilots, so don't take offense to that.

Spirit, JetBlue, Frontier?
These are all the same responses given to anyone looking at coming here. I don't dispute there are issues but if you feel your life is in danger, I wouldn't be sticking around.
