No need for confusion, it was just information for the benefit of all the non-Allegiant-employee forum readers as to a typical day at AAY operations. This is a widely-read public forum, and has bot-feeds to other internet sites, participants and followers are not just Allegiant employees or pilots-only (chagrin for some). Most of the active posters are pilots but many lurkers are not.

Obviously a guy who has never experienced US Airways/American Airlines at Philadelphia International Airport on Christmas Eve when a snowstorm is blowing through. Hang on let me grab all the other cancellations of the other airlines for ya real quick... When are the aliens coming back dude?

Don't limit your thinking to such a small viewpoint. Those Allegiant cancelled flights rescheduled to another day are about 7% to 8% of the Allegiant total flight ops. For American Airlines to have the equivalent they would have to cnx and resched for another day about 475 flights in one day. Think about the magnitude of that. And the 9 cancelled AAY flights with no reschedule left nearly 1,000 passengers stranded. American would have to cancel and strand passengers on over 200 flights in one day, with NO alternative flights offered, to be the equivalent flight failure rate. That never happens - period.

All this on a normal, non-holiday, no-blizzard day. Tell me that magnitude of failed flights happens at Delta, AA or any other US domestic carrier, dude.

So your equating a summer day in Chattanooga with a snowstorm in philly?

Is your contention that all these cancellations are weather related or just poor operational planning with a laissez-faire Mgmt team who don't really care if the family from Chattanooga going on vacation to orlando gets their flight cancelled two days before departure?

You're right, there's nothing to see here. All other major carriers have weekly stories like this one.

Serious Allegiant Airlines safety issues revealed in FAA report | FOX13

The issue isn't that we have operational issues, the issue is that we don't seem to be vested in trying to fix them.

Contract or no contract, vote yes or no, we won't survive the long run with stories like this one appearing weekly. The first step in fixing these issues, would be to admit there are issues.

Voted yes. Thank you EXCO and NC for all the hard work. Much appreciated.

Allegiant Reports June 2016 Traffic

LAS VEGAS, NV -- 07/07/16 -- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today reported preliminary passenger traffic results for June 2016.

"June was a difficult operational month for us," stated Jude Bricker, COO and SVP of Planning. "This drove a high number of cancellations and subsequent passenger refunds. Without these refunds, TRASM for the quarter would have been about 0.5 percentage points better than we are estimating in this release."

"During the second quarter, we received a significant fuel tax refund from the State of Florida," stated Scott Sheldon, CFO and Senior Vice President. "This reduction in fuel expense nets out to an average cost of $1.36 per gallon for the quarter versus $1.55 per gallon had we not received the refund. Also during this quarter we incurred our first major maintenance event for the Airbus aircraft and adopted the deferral method to account for these costs. The application of the deferral method for Airbus major maintenance costs coupled with lower than expected salary and benefits expense are the primary drivers of CASM ex fuel coming in under forecast."
