Do you think the above will hurt the operation? If you prefer not to discuss on this forum I would appreciate a pm.

Thanks in advance

You have to remember Alaska did the same kind of thing. I think they have it under control now, but they suffered several accidents after the change over to contract ground crews. I believe one incident was a knocked hole in a 737. People tend to not care who throws their bags. They do care however about the quality of pilots and mechanics.

Rumor has it around the shop that the 757s will be used out of LAS to PGB, ABE and SFB. Like I said, rumor but most rumors turn out to be true.

OK. So I hear a rumor that the 757s will be flown by outsourced pilots from Omni. Rumor, so I guess it will turn out to be true...

Rumor around the shop is that Allegiant is cutting pilot wages by 50%. Like I said, rumor but most rumors turn out to be true.

Fish.... you miserable little guy! The grown up's are trying to have a discussion. Now go run around out back with that nifty Alaska 737 model and keep pretending you are the best!

Mr. Fish,

Please tell me that this was an attempt at humor. Question for you; Why hang out on the Allegiant forum and bash any and all things Allegiant? Sounds like a great waste of energy. Oh well, there is always one in the crowd...
