Well, it's obvious that "Mr. Deelmakur" doesn't think too much of Allegiant as they obviously only carry "junk traffic".

Of course, G4 has been profitable for just about every quarter for a number of years now and was recently named the top performing low cost airline by Aviation Week & Space Technology.

And as for BLI, well, there's just nothing there, market-wise, folks.....oh, there's a few routes from there to/from OAK, LAX, LGB, PSP, LAS, etc., but hey: it's "junk traffic" - and AS has no business going after this type of market or attempting to do anything new and innovative in order to increase market share and enhance profitability. In fact, I guess AS should just not try to compete with G4 at all........
