Well, the other post indicates that it started on approach so idk, other than older stuff breaks every now and then. It sounds like in the other story there was an absence of much help from the flight crew and that another plane went on for the next leg.

Why is this NO SURPRISE ? When an airline has enough issues with trying too keep an "On Time" operating schedule, it could make one wonder, what condition their aircraft are in.

Allegiant Air, "Low cost carrier" apparently feels they owe their passengers nothing, including respectful service. They should have their wings clipped and GROUNDED
Or merged with Spirit, then grounded
