For someone that doesn't work here, you seem to devote a lot of time to the Allegiant thread. In post #3789, you seem to know quite a bit about the MD80 for someone who doesn't work here. In post #3793 you as "why would anyone want to work HERE"? What an odd way to phrase a question. If I worked somewhere else, I would have said "why would anyone want to work there"?
You are a sad little troll Valuegiant, I mean Packrat.

Enough of the "my pee pee is bigger than your pee pee" competition. I'm not going to delete any posts, but will start giving out infractions for the next post(s) that of a similar nature. Keep discussions to Allegiant and not on attacking individual users.

Thank you vagabond.
I think that people can make their own decisions as to the facts. I am still amazed these multiple events hasn't triggered at least a freeze in growth from the FAA. With so many inflight shutdowns, air/gate returns, the Fargo incident, the recent flight control failure, etc. you'd think this would trigger a re certification event.
I credit Alligiant for coming up with a product that folks want to buy. But I am appalled how poorly they care for their employees. And anyone who thinks that this is a safe way to run an airline maintenance wise is either a true idiot, or a callous monster who cares nothing for people's lives.

The FAA did "freeze growth" several months ago when there were "labor issues".....for several weeks the place was crawling with feds who evidently were satisfied with what they saw because the "freeze" was lifted. I would guess maybe this is being revisited. It's a definite concern.

That is the truth.
That is the truth.
The ULCC model caters to people who would probably take Greyhound otherwise. That is no secret. Who do you think Spirit and Frontier cater to? Money is money, it doesn't matter who you make it from. It all spends the same.

Hopefully, it won't take a smoking hole in the desert for the FAA to pay attention.
