Disgraced by Allegiant Air
Time of occurrence: 1105am
Aviation safety related issues/concerns to report: While flying allegiant airline on April 22, 2013 from GSP to FLL 913 We were told that the FAA had delayed the flight And that it was not the fault of allegiant . We were told that the flight set for 1005 would be leaving 1205 pm ... five minutes later the allegiant rep announced came we must board in 25 minutes and we can leave at 11:05. Everyone rushed the counter... We had paid an additional $14 per ticket for assigned seating to be able to be with my two-year-old grandchild we paid for three tickets ( D section).some one already had our seats once we boarded in the order that they had anounced over the PA. My two-year-old grandchild was forced to sit on the lap of her grandmother and I was forced to the back of the plane... How was forced to pay for a ticket for my two-year-old grandchild and chose to pre pay extra $14 per ticket so that we can have assigned seating my two-year-old grandchild was forced to sit in the lap of her grandmother rather than an individual seat jeopardizing her safety in violation of FAA rules ... The flight attended Salina (approx 30 blond female) Told us they would not be honoring assigned seating...and also forced me to move an additional time calling me a baby to the other flight attendant... she bragged to the passengers that that was a record time of boarding at 12 minutes. I am a pilot in training GA and this has been a very upsetting event to me Dangerously rushing and skipping over rules ...is future of aviation?This flight attendant used the threat of either leaving now or having a 4 hr delay to cheat me out of seating and risk the safety of my baby LeAnn...Love flying and site seing didnt look out the window this whole flight and only wanted it to be over
