Allegiant Air grounds planes for inspection, delays flights

[Jeff Lebowski]

I'm not sure if Chuck wants a job at Allegiant, I think he might could already have one!

Will the recent shutdown of the entire training department cause people to dequalify and if so, who will cover the flying?

Possibly. It depends on how long it's shut down. If it goes in to December, then yes it will.

Mediation is a matter of when, not if.

 

[DASHDRIVER]

Ouch. So you're sayin it's gonna take a bit more time before you get a new contract? Lol.

 

[Noodles]

It'll be measured in years, not months.

 

[Chuck Steak]

But yet, guys keep picking up open time all over the system?

 

[Noodles]

I guess they are either too stupid or too selfish to realize how this hurts everyone.

I'd be curious to see avg age of MD-80 fleet, though (I have a feeling your A-319s and 757s are skewing #s a little)

BTW- I'm not necessarily pointing this out in a disparaging manner; you fill airplanes with a very specific segment of the market and have been quite profitable as a result. My 6.25-yr-old airline is just now realizing sustained profitability (and is just now figuring out how to fill airplanes with a decent load factor/yield mix).

Their airbus and 757 fleet ain't new either

I heard the 757 had another aborted takeoff again today???? If I were the FAA, I'd shut it down also!
