At least this one can be blamed on dog or something.

^^^ Gud one! HaHaHaHa!

Of course, the retards that think it is worth the risk to fly Allegiant think it's a big imposition
to keep their seat belt fastened.

Maybe or perhaps a pilot under pressure to save fuel/time.

Still trying.. twice in two days.

t was the second emergency landing for the Allegiant plane at PIE in as many days. Wednesday, passengers aboard the same Airbus A320 - headed to St. Pete from Moline, Illinois - made a safe emergency landing at PIE after pilots detected a leak in the hydraulic fuel line, according to Allegiant.

Allegiant four times as likely to break down in flight as other airlines.

Breaking down on the ground is one thing.

^^ interesting find from one of my Facebook friends who has a business booking trips for people.

After reading this article I have made the decision to no longer book Allegiant Air for any clients. Their safety is more important than a cheap nonstop flight.

When they first started up they were an amazing airline and were very consumer friendly. But as they grew that all went out the window.

Of course if you like to add a little spice to your life, then they are the perfect airline. LOL

I know a guy who flies them all the time from Tri-Cities to Vegas. I guess you could add a little gambling spice to the flight by buying flight insurance. Course, you wouldn't know it if you won...........

They were discussed at length on Sixty Minutes tonight. I didn't watch it all, but what I watched, made me never want to fly on them. I suppose they will be sueing Sixty Minutes, or just declaring bankrupcy & starting over with a new name, as they have already done.

No crashes yet, and it's been nearly three years since the first "sky is falling" post. How much money could you have saved by flying Allegiant. Watched 60 minutes. Flying Allegiant no more dangerous than 10a R. Suck it up Buttercup

Well, if yer aeronautically ignorant than that translates to blissfully ignorant. After Air Canada’s
two recent near tragedies I would think twice before flying them.

saw the 60 min interview. Practiced responses from Allegiant. No shock.

I'm shocked.

No f'ing thx.

Skidding across the atmosphere has enough risks inherent. I don't need another jack wagon company trying to specifically cut corners.

Was it one of theirs that came within a few feet of landing on a taxiway full of loaded planes? Or was that the one that almost flew into Mt. Wilson you were telling me about (I don't think that one made the mainstream?)

I think that was EVA Air, a couple of years ago?

The worst of the Air Canadas was when the goobers came within 27' of landing
on 4 fully loaded planes on the taxiway at SFO. It would have been the worst
disaster in aviation history. TWENTY SEVEN FEET! If you've ever been
in the driver's seat while landing at a major airport at night you would
know how unbelievable this is to comprehend. The runway has a lighted
centerline, lighted edges, lights denoting the threshold, and most of all
'The Rabbit' - a strobe light that leads you to the bloody runway from a
half mile out. Stevie Wonder could follow that thing!

Yes, the EVA Air event was almost equally egregious. Why clowns like that
are allowed access to US airspace is a crime against humanity.
