It may work out well for TDY commuters if based in BWI.
Our company is going to have to do a much better job with OTP. I think the last email I looked at said we on have 40% leaving on time. These new routes/airports have other carriers, giving customers other options.

On time for all of 2015 was 49.9%

So odds are you were late if you flew Allegiant. To fix that will take spare aircraft and crews... so it is unlikely to get fixed.

Frankly I don't undestand the constant push for being on time. No one connects and all you get is frustration and pressure from everyone to just get the plane out as soon as possible. If you want to run thin fine, but accept that the choice to do so will result in problems. Putting added stress on everyone for the decisions of planning is wearing thin.

They should just post dates of flights and no times. Tell the pax it's cheaper if they are flexible and just have them all show at the airport by 7am until alg is ready to go. Then as long as the flight leaves on the correct day, mission accomplished! People would do it if they saved another Lincoln!
Plus think of all the added airport food sales.

The only flights they really care about are the first bank and they only care because they don't want to spend money on gate service. In reality, who cares....

Does anyone know class dates at Allegiant? I know one starts on January 18, but does anyone know when the next one is? Thanks!

Schedules are completely random.

What's the deal with Merlot's "Find Crew" feature lately? It won't populate the daily trips & personnel!

Default New bases?

So what do those new routes mean as far as potential new bases?

Nothing. All inside turns from PIE, SFB, CVG and maybe AVL. Which is a good thing. The last thing I want to see is more small bases to dilute seniority.
