Who is Allegiant Buying that has 757's

[HighSpeedClimb]

I hope the rumor is true, Allegiant is a successful company and I know they will do great if they take on Hawaii.

Please..........why would anyone want to lose money?

They're gonna buy usair and hand them the keys. They'll get rid of all the MD's, close all the Allegiant crew bases and junk their entire business plan. Focus on the lucrative high-yield northeast that's made usair the success it's been the last 20 years.

That's classic. Next it will be Alaska. Good ole' US Airways destroying one good airline after another.

Primaris?

Bingo! That's the rumor...but that's all it is at this point.

Nope, Primaris was bought by an oil company last month. No plans for 757's now.

Primaris being bought by an oil company is also a rumor. Mr. Gallagher did make an offer for Primaris but it was refused. If it was going to happen it would have been a separate airline. Or at least that's what I know.

It didn't happen...that's why I was furloughed.

Hi Lucky,
Can you please expand upon what you just said? Are you saying that Primaris deal with the oil company fell thru and now they are lumbering thru ch 11 bankruptcy? I am just trying to understand what is going on over there. Good luck landing back on your feet!

That's pretty much it...not much to expand on. Small company with some real quality people. Every one is working very hard to turn things around. Sounds like there might be a little light at the end of the tunnel. Hard times in aviation these days for sure. I think with a little funding they would do good work. Keeping my fingers crossed that everyone one will be back to work quickly.

I should note that they did everything possible to keep everyone and did not want to do this. We are still in contact with them, even the owner. All are very supportive and helping any way they can.

If that's true, I'd be interested to see what the plans are. Just heard direct from VP of Ops yesterday that no news or plans for 757s right now. Guess we'll see what the future holds.

There may not be any current plans. All I am saying is that at one point it was considered.

It would be cool if Allegiant was able to get more/different airplanes. They seem to be the only one out there doing well.

Primaris?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Daytonaflyer]

Yeah, I have a buddy over at Primaris, haven't talked to him in a year; if he get furloughed, it'd be nice if he came over here.
