Allegiant should be okay in any event as long as they stay away from ex Korean metal or I am just supersticious.

Speaking of T-Med they are going to be coming back to life under a new name very soon. 727's in the fleet and I think Maddog's again but no 757's this time.
The MD83's that went from KAL, were first turned into Boeing Capital, & then turned over to JetsGo, the aircraft were in good condition & were equipped with AUX tanks..... Allegiant has those aircraft now & I have not heard anything bad about them....
