What are the rumored bases please?

I hear and see that often... would i be a very sad pilot commuting from dfw ? yes i currently have a family.

I think we will announce the new bases after the company announces the buyout of ATA.

But I think it would be safe to say that people in Peoria will soon have non-stop service to Hawaii.

DREAMER.
more like a non-stop to nowhere.

Oh and 'it's ok here.'
Is kind of like saying 'what was I thinking.' but easier on the ego.

New bases...yes. ATA buyout...not even close.

But if Allegiant really wants to grow in the long-term, they may need to make acquisitions of another carrier such as ATA or Aloha. Hawaii is the next logical step for Allegiant Travel to expand to, and if the airline purchased a small airline that offers Hawaiian service like ATA or Aloha, that might allow the airline to increase its reach, although Allegiant would likely have to add a new aircraft type into is fleet. If Allegiant were to acquire ATA, for example, Allegiant could use ATA's 757-300 aircraft, which it could get at a relatively low cost. The 757-300 is an unwanted aircraft like the MD-80 because so few were made that spare parts and maintenance can be expensive. But ATA has a relatively large fleet of 757-300s and those costs could be minimized if Allegiant purchased that fleet. Allegiant could start Hawaii service from current origin cities on the West Coast including Bellingham, Stockton, Fresno, and Santa Maria. And Allegiant could charge a small premium on the flights since they are from a smaller airport that's more convenient to its customers.

Some Analyst think it would be a good Idea. Here is the link to the full article: http://www.airlinebulletin.com/ata/index.html

I was actually joking, but now that you have pointed out that i'm full of it....

Bases

If you like Tunica Mississippi, Fort Lauderdale FL, or PHX AZ you will be in new hire or new Capt heaven.....I didin't even know where Tunica was unitl I pulled out a road atlas. Chief sent out a notice about a week ago to "expect" those bases in the near future. Said they were charter bases???? They keep us very much in the dark until somethings happens, it's there way of "management". They didn't say how many people or airplanes are going to any of these palces. My guess is one or two planes per base and about 3.0 crews per plane.


Hope this helps.

Tunica is definately a charter base, much like reno and laughlin. Ft. Lauderdale and Phoenix will be Scheduled. I think Both will be as big as SFB in the near future.

I don't think management is keeping us in the dark. They are working on it and deals come and go fast. This will be good growth for the company and job stability for the pilots.

Tuica went junior (when it's official that is) ..... So much for me moving up a number. :crying:

They aren't purposefully keeping anything from us. Nothing is firm as of today for any of the bases. Being a public company now, the information has to be released in a manner that keeps MG out of the slammer.

Look for information to flow soon.... on at least 2 of the 3 bases. An upgrade list should be in your e-mail box today.

Be a good deal for anyone from the Memphis area.
