Nothing says LCC like hubbing in JFK with $30 pax connection fees

Allegiant is already merging with Sun Country.

Honestly not sure why Avelo would be going to some DC shindig.

Now is the time to brainstorm a new name for the combined carrier. Front Spunk or Giant Favela ? Giant Blue Jelo ? So many options.

Begging Trump for a writ of Salvation like Joe Exotic does kind of hint at desperation.

Avelo is/was doing the ICE deportation flights. They're already in bed with the current administration.

Just looking for another hand out like the rest of the lot.

Ahhh. I forgot. I remember seeing them in PHL; thought they already moved from ILG then realized they were doing the conair deals.
