Allegiant Phases Out Boeing 757s and Exits Hawaii

Unfortunately we who recall vividly Value Jets's sad management practices leading to the Tragic Crash in the FL Everglades will never forget why there is no Value Jet name, today, replaced, instead. by something called Allegiant and continued questionable mechanical upkeep. NUFF Said!!!!!
Who ran Value Jet and after the tragic loss of life in the FL. Everglades, who attempted to continue with the "VJ" title and attitude? Don't asks what my point was until after you check out where Allegiant came from?
I personally know Mitch Allee, who started Allegiant. I worked for his other company at the in the late 90s/early 200s when it started. He had nothing to do with ValuJet, nor anything that happened with VJA592.
You should probably figure out where AAY came from before mouthing off things like this, because it makes you look foolish.

same philosophy of acquiring and maintaining older airliners, cutting all corners everywhere, negligible customer service, and abysmal dispatch reliability. Value Jet airlines does not need to exist in any form in any current airline, and yet they do in allegiant. A bad idea, badly executed in reinvention.
southwest,if it continues expansion, risks losing its "little engine that could keep fares lower" status..in order to compete in the Hawaiian market,they would have to go above and beyond new 737 aircraft,to larger ones,as the routes from say,los angeles,san Francisco or dallas have abundant service with more seating capacity and at least a few amenities, such as a first class cabin..the "island hop" market,does not seem to be one they would be interested in...
Not necessarily. They still have the service ATA had to rely on, as they ceded that service to SWA with that buyout. And if AAS (Aloha) could operate from Hawaii to the mainland in a B737-700 (which they did from SNA and OAK), SWA could do the same either in a B737, B738, or MAX7 or MAX8 aircraft. They even could do the same from LAX as they have the same range with their current aircraft that they could use to Hawaii as they do from KLAX-MROC.
In short, if they can make LAX to Costa Rica in a B737, they can easily make LAX-HNL with their current fleet. Additionally, with them phasing out the B733s, they will have the room to take those in and increase frequency to HNL from one of their west coast base.

Someone needs to phase out Allegiant's Management!
