Double crewing turns is usually done as a result of the schedule. Allegiant has much lower aircraft utilization. Happened on Apple vacations stuff at F9 when we didn’t have enough flying out of PUJ and crews were overnighting there for 2-3 days at a time. They started deadheading a crew back.

I hope you live close to the airport. Anything more than thirty minute drive gets old real fast.

no crystal ball. I might be sending you a PM one day asking for a recommendation at frontier.
