Geez, rather than concluding "Allegiant uses the same system, they have no problems, therefore the SW CEO must be lying" (a conclusion that probably pleases you because that's another win for your pet theory that CEOs can't be trusted), why not do your own investigation as to why Allegiant might have escaped this problem? A good scientist tries to disprove her own theories to make sure it's robust.

I saw several of your replies scrolling through this page, yeah, you need to learn a lot.

I am first to admit that there are a lot of things I simply do not know, but because of this I am also willing to accept evidence presented once presented.

Am I wrong to ask why two seemingly similar systemsrespond differently to an event that seemingly should affect them the same way? I do not think so. If the approach is wrong, then tell me that. I am not a scientist. I am just a guy on the interwebs, who sees flimsy excuse for an excuse and calls it out.

Southwest had the most cancelled flights, Allegiant had the second most, and Spirit had the third most. I googled “Allegiant cancelled flights” and got dozens of news stories.

The FAA problem was in Jacksonville. Wikipedia lists Allegiant’s top Florida destinations as Orlando, St Pete, and Ft Myers. Also, according to Wikipedia, Jacksonville is a minor city for Allegiant.

I think what rankles a bit is you are coming up with these pet theories that force others to present easily obtainable (including from TFA) information. So no, you're not wrong to ask the question, you're wrong to have demonstrated contrarianism rather than curiosity.

How about you start reading the actual article, rather than pushing a conspiracy theory by Just Asking Questions, that are answered in the article that is being discussed.
