The real story here is that we are paying the FAA millions of dollars to regulate the safety of all airlines. 60 Minutes is insinuating that they are not doing their job. But, instead of attacking the FAA for incompetence, they have chosen to single out and attack a small airline and tell people not to fly on it. Why didn't 60 Minutes address the overall issue that they apparently believe that the FAA is not doing their job. Isn't that the real story to be reported? Are they saying that Allegiant is the only airline that is unsafe. 60 Minutes should be ashamed of themselves for presenting this ridiculous attack on a small, independent airline when their apparent real target is the FAA. The FAA guy said that Allegiant had addressed all of their safety issues. 60 Minutes didn't have any rebuttal for that statement.
