Consultant Ron Dotzauer launched his first salvo today to help Mukilteo keep commercial passenger flights out of Paine Field.
An e-mail sent to an untold number of residents blasted the prospective carrier, Allegiant Air, as “not right for our community.”
It begins:
Who is trying to use Paine Field for commercial purposes? Is this someone we want Snohomish County to do business with?
Don’t let Allegiant Airlines exploit Everett and South Snohomish County the way they do other communities!
Above the words “No Exploitation Zone” is a drawing of an airplane and the international symbol for “no.”
The e-mail excerpts headlines of newspaper articles about the company’s decision to end service on routes around the country.
Time and again, Allegiant Airlines deserts small communities after short notice and short stays.
Last week, Mukilteo inked a nearly $100,000 contract with Dotzauer’s firm, Strategies 360.
That deal came as a new study produced for Everett found more positives than negatives for the city if commercial service started at Paine Field.
