Note to Allegiant: Emergency Landings are Not the Problem
"It looked as if it'd been sitting in a field". Sad, but not surprising.

It's getting crazier out there (see below) and not just with Allegiant Air. Somehow I don't think anyone will get fired. And no wisecracks about hormones or PMS, those flight attendants are professionals.

Delta Flight Attendants Get in Fist Fight, Plane Lands
January 30, 2016

[excerpt]
The skies weren’t so friendly on a recent Delta Air Lines flight. After two female flight attendants got into a fist fight on flight 2598 traveling from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, the captain decided to make an unscheduled landing in Salt Lake City.

According to the Aviation Herald, the flight attendants had a disagreement over work issues on the Jan. 22 flight. A third woman on the plane tried to break up the fight and was also hit by the brawling flight attendants. At that point, the captain made the decision to land the Boeing 757. The plane was flying just south of Salt Lake City when the fight broke out.

Nothing else he could do, he was outnumbered.

And as DAL HR likes to tout.... It's harder to become a DAL FA than get into Harvard.

Maybe they were arguing on how to best invest their 21% PS checks they are getting in two weeks. A 2.5 month bonus can bring out the worst decisions.

Sorry, I got nothin'. Got enough going on with our mess at Allegiant to give a rip about FAs at a different airline.

Both FAs were terminated upon arrival in SLC.

Remember DL FAs are unrepresented.

Honest question here. We were parked next to an Allegiant MD-80 today, and we saw the CA (not the FO) come out and do the walkaround. Except he had a folding ladder and a long white pole, and he climbed up on the ladder and was doing something to the upper surface of the right wing with the pole.

For the life of us, we couldn't figure out what preflight procedure could require a ladder and a pole?

I can't speak specifically for Allegiant (I don't work there...), but all DC-9s (incl. the DC-9-80) have a requirement to check the upper wings for ice whenever the ambient temperature is < 10 deg C and there's precipitation or the temp/dew-point spread is (I think) less than 2 or 3 degs. Those black strips just outside of the overwing exits aren't for traction as you're going out of the overwing exit. They're rumble strips. When you rub the wand (the long white pole you were referring to) over them, they should feel rough. But if you don't feel the roughness when you rub the wand over them, you have to get deiced... even if it's 10 deg C outside.

The DC-9s all have a super-critical wing. And it's susceptible to icing on even relatively-warm days.

What location were you at?
