Wow, sarcasm scanner fail. He wasn't serious.

Oops, my apologies.

Hahaha....no worries. Sometimes sarcasm doesn't come across over just written word. Everyone is pretty amped up right now so I can understand your initial reply.

I'm patiently waiting for the follow up email with more detail.

I hope Maury is held criminally liable when a serious accident finally occurs. I hope our latest FAA audit is more than optics.

He’ll just do what he did last time. Hide behind an army of lawyers.

While I'm still waiting on proof of this being catastrophic or just a flame out, regardless we shouldn't have this kinda stuff low to the ground. If that was a go around due to a windshear event it could have been unrecoverable.

Looking at the pictures of chewed up blades in the exhaust, it's immediately evident that the engine went. Sounds like some great airmanship saved g4's bacon again. Not surprised about an email downplaying the event. That is managements playbook, they have done that all along which is why these incidents keep happening. 13 years of blowing engines and they still happen every other week. Coincidence? Does anyone honestly believe they really care? Not so long as the profits keep rolling in. Could these incidents have been reduced or mitigated with better maintenance? Absolutely. What about newer airplanes instead of trashed out poorly maintained foreign junk. That too. Quite simply, It boils down to spending what is required to run a safe airline instead of raw pursuit of profit at all cost.

Life threatening events have become routine, and aircrews have grown accustomed to the absurd, as seen by comments on this forum. Pilots joining the management chorus, downplaying and making excuses for a company that has lost upwards of 100 engines in flight. Never mind the flight control malfunctions, depressurization's, evacuations, the list goes on. All entirely unacceptable for ANY flight operation, never mind a 121. Given the number of inflight shutdowns and the number of airplanes in their fleet it's crazy they're allowed to keep their certificate. Scaling out the size of the allegiant fleet to that of a major operator, there would be 10 times the number of failures. Does anyone believe the FAA and the public would tolerate such an abomination?

Management was amazed when engine failures weren't limited to the MD-80s and started blowing on the 757s. Now the Airbus. Not surprising as the ops team is apparently now lead by bean counters who know zip about maintenance and operations. Low time pilots, combined with garbage maintenance, beat up airplanes, remote destinations, and a negligent management all combine for a very disturbing picture.

Formula for disaster, history repeating itself. Kudos to the pilots, those passengers have no idea what those guys did. They never do.

You are reading too much into my "tone" via the written word. Peace. We are all in this together.

I don't understand this strategy but who am I to tell them? I expect will come back to bite them big time but the thing is they don't know what they don't know and that is the scariest part. EG in particular is threatened by anyone with more industry experience and knowledge than him and that is dumb, dumb, dumb....he should embrace those who could "possibly" make him look good. The fact that JB allows him to assemble this low experience team is even worse.
