From the numbers I saw before I left, about 50 last year. I would say the same or more this year.

It's been going up every year for the last three or four years.

Allegiant fires Capt. K for creating bad publicity.....

wow.. the ignorance of management. Of course watching the video after the fact you can tell the jet wasn't on fire, but the Captain has no external view during the scenario and all he has is a cabin crew reporting a burning smell and a ground crew reporting smoke. I'd make the same decision with that same information, don't know anyone who wouldn't.

Normally the standing company comment for any company is "we don't comment on pending litigation " but with all the bad press lately maybe they will have something to say.

My feeling is the company made a bad decision and should have used the event as a training scenario assuming the crew made a bad call which has yet to be proven in my opinion. But heaven forbid an actual evacuation is required and the crew fails to act out of job reprisal fear that will be the end of allegiant.

Airlines have captains to make decisions on the items that don't necessarily appear in a company manual or things that aren't exactly covered in training. Otherwise we wouldn't need captains, we would just have 'operators '.

It seems to me with the limited known information that the company made a bad decision. Good luck making your case to a jury. I see the company wanting to settle this quick.

Who was calling them on the radio, telling them (the crew) to hold off on the evacuation?

Good question. Now assume you are the captain in that situation. What do you do?

What really galls me is the ignoramus on the radio telling him to "hold the evacuation."

What a **** bag operation seriously ...looks like SMS is doing alot of good here.
