Allegiant Air’s planes started failing more and more, but the FAA didn't crack down
Before the night was finished on June 25, 2015, five Allegiant flights had been interrupted in four hours, all because different planes had failed in midair. The Federal Aviation Administration collected records on all of the incidents. But it didn’t order a single corrective action. (www.tampabay.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Wots new pussycat?
Allegiant Air should be grounded and barred from flying until a bow to stern and keel to masthead inspection of each and every aircraft in its fleet is completed and all issues (especially those involving safety of flight)are corrected, period, end of discussion! Had this been done (and the proper oversight exercised)prior to the ValuJet tragedy in the Everglades this accident probably would not have happened. The current CEO of Allegiant, Mr. Gallagher was in the same position at ValuJet which tells me that his management of Allegiant needs improvement! He has blood on his hands from the ValuJet crash and God forbid that a similar tragedy should occur at Allegiant! I will not fly on Allegiant nor will I allow anybody in my family to do so! Safety MUST BE THE PRIME CONCERN in the aviation industry because the slightest slip up will be tragic!
As David Barnes pointed out above, maintenance had nothing to do with the ValuJet crash.
When Allegiant started flying out of Punta Gorda, I thought it was great. Now I can fly up north to see my family without the hassle of the big airports. Then I started hearing that many flights had to be diverted or delayed because of mechanical problems. A lot more lately. Then they cancelled flights for this reason. No thank you. Frontier is now flying out of Punta Gorda, I just hope they fly into ORH, soon.

For the regulars, just a side note. The "silence" is golden.
