What is interesting is that ExpressJet tried something similiar using E145s following a partial divorce with CO (CO asked them to renegotiate contract and ended up with fewer ExpressJet flights when they said NO), but that quickly crashed and burned.

Their billboards said "And the best part, no Middle Seats." Guess that one middle seat on MD80s works a little better

I am impressed that Allegiant can make a profit, and I'd try them if I didn't have to travel to south Texas to catch one of their flights.
