Have flown Allegiant numerous times years ago. I also have followed news reports from a variety of sources over the past few years, including numerous local evening news reports when problem issues arose. I thus came to my not to fly Allegiant decision based on dozens of reported issues over the years, plus my knowing that they have been using much older aircraft than other carriers I could choose. The 60 minutes exposay did nothing to furthur my distrust of Allegiant. I am not a big fan of large government agencies properly solving issues they are charged to evaluate. The IRS, VA, EPA, just to name a few have had gross inefficiencies in recent years so when I am in a “missle” at 30,000 feet, my decision to totally trust the FAA’s investigative responsibilities falls short of complete trust. Most importantly do your own research with the numerous tools at your disposal, then make an “as informed” decision that gives you the comfort level necessary.
