Angry Allegiant Air's record is frightening

This is the airline we most often use but not after reading this article that came out Sunday.

This Airline's Planes Break Down in Mid-Air 4 Times as Often as Any Other Airline's | Inc.com

Thanks, for the post. Airline airplane maintenance continues to be a troublesome topic. Mostly hidden from the public, until disaster strikes.

I have a friend who just applied to Allegiant for a pilot's job. He would be moving to Florida if he got it. Haven't heard if he got the job or not. He was flying for Cathay Pacific, but the commute from Delaware to the West Coast was killing him, plus CP did not have jump seat privileges on US domestic airlines, so he had to pay his own way and hotel bills, to the tune of about $2,000 per month.
It would be interesting to see what specifically Allegiant's maintenance issues were. Sounds like they are trying to rectify the situation.

That's easy for you to say - you likely don't use them. We do (make that did) to visit our family in FL. Thankfully, they are flying Delta in a couple weeks to visit us.

Scary stuff. That is why we drive to Florida. Air travel sucks.
