If you read the article it seems Allegiant MD-80s have problems 2x times more often than American MD-80s and 3x more than Delta MD-80s. Assuming they did the math right it's a concerning apples to apples comparison. Also according to this article Allegiant's emergency landing rate is 10x Southwest, which was accounted safest, and over 2x that of American, which had the highest rate other than Allegiant. Again, seems like a disturbing difference regardless of the airplane involved. Add in the fact that Allegiant's current CEO was the former CEO of ValueJet [1] and this does not seem like a good airline if you want to get home in one piece. They sound like Spanair or Arrow Air. I love aircraft but flying on those two was creepy. They both had serious crashes, as did ValueJet.
