Perhaps that is a question that should be directed to the maintenance dept. Along with all the other maintenance nightmares, it has happened on all too frequent basis. Maybe it's because Allegiant doesn't make enough money to avoid the cheap contract maintenance they use.

As an American mechanic told me once when I picked up a plane from them: When an American 80 goes into a heavy check, they get the Cadillac plan. When an Allegiant 80 went in to a heavy check, it got the Yugo plan.
But even doing things on the cheap, American did a good a job. I never worried about the plan not being right picking it up there like I did picking one up from AAR.

Does Allegiant still frequently TDY west coasters to Florida? If so I'd assume they're picking up the bill for any hotel rooms needed? I heard wrong, but is training (ground and sim) 6 or 16 weeks currently? During my phone screen I heard over the phone that they're growing IWA and they also plan on possibly opening a mid continent base.

Actually, they DO make enough money to do things correctly. American used to do the heavy checks on all the 80's, but they didn't want to continue paying for that and switched to AAR, or whoever does it now.

I'm sure what your Mgmt is touting is ROI and you can boost that by either increasing actual profit or limiting your investment (capital). Obviously algs game plan is tominimize investment and then claim the highest ROI. The rub is wether that strategyis sustainable long term.
