Hello and thanks for tuning in!  Sincerest apologies for the lateness getting this episode out.  With everything going on the Home front and the studio renovation, it took awhile. thank you so much everyone for your patience!  

 In this very special exposé podcast we're talking about Allegiant Airlines and its history of shenanigans, violations, fines and some real shady attempts to seemingly deceive both the government and the flying public.  Have 'things' gotten better?  Well tune in and find out! 

 **Just a quick clarification: The MD-80 elevators are tab-driven. That is, the yokes aren’t mechanically linked to the elevators. They connect to small, tabs hinged at the rear of control surfaces that serve as elevators. During flight, movement of the tabs results in the angle of the elevators changing**  

UPDATE 10-19-21: I mentioned, "Automatic Thrust Reverse System"  What I MEANT to say was: "Automatic Reserve Thrust" system. Thank you to one of the listeners for catching that mistake!
