No, but I know there are always options and if your life is in danger then nothing else matters. And yes, homeless on the street is better than dead. At least it is to me.

I don't understand how the FAA allows them to carry on this way? Spirit was almost grounded over torn seats.......

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.
They are obviously experts at saving the day.
Keep up the good work guys. Lesser pilots would be killing 150 passengers every day.

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 mechanical defect that worries me every time I fly. It's crazy how much trust we have in the system.
Fixed it for you.

Good job to the pilots!!! And all the others who've had inflight emergencies at Allegiant lately. Hopefully, things get fixed before the odds become to great to overcome.

Speaking of Airbus, are there any Bus Pilots that would care to share their perspective of flying for G4 on the Airbus vs. MD80? I know the MD80 operation well and I'm looking for a change - I'm hoping the Airbus offers that bump in QOL & frankly more enjoyable flying days.
Thanks for any insight.
