This is probably the shortest post I will ever write here but I would like you to read this phenomenal shareholder letter from Maurice Gallagher, CEO of Allegiant Travel. It was published in May.

Maurice Gallagher is exactly a person I, as an investor, would like to partner with for the long-term. Unfortunately, Gallagher has retired from ALGT in June as he is already 73, but the culture he has built will remain a huge intangible asset for a while.
The transparency into operations and the relatively detailed rationale behind key investments was refreshing. Thanks for the share. I was smiling at the part mentioning the opportunistic equity raise above pre-pandemic prices in May 2021 - Allegiant was the only one to do it.
Thanks for sharing! I did enjoy it. But can you provide a little more commentary on why you found it phenomenal? Just to guide a little more on what you are looking for in these letters. Thanks!
