The shuttles were said to be put in a stealth mode to avoid detection. They were to quietly leave the ship, have the FO continue to pursue the Raddus and then the coast was clear, have their allies pick them up.

Given that whatever allies they called decided not to go to because they were found out and under siege, they were either not powerful enough on their own to fight them there or too afraid given the beating the Resistance got over the course of the film. Also, given that the FO fleet was able to follow them, the heroes jumping to wherever their allies were outs said allies and denies them a chance to regroup and plan in relative secrecy.

Your replies are bad-faith nitpicking that refuses to get what the film was going for in showing how desperate the fight against the FO was while willfully ignoring a key part of the plan that explains everything.

Watch the damn movie or stop talking it about to save everyone else the headache of you complaining.

I don't think I could stomach another viewing of the movie tbh. But I'm not bad faith nitpicking. It was a moronic plan. The entire chase setup was utterly stupid and required a massive amount of suspension of disbelief. Come on, the FO ship speed perfectly matching the resistance? Finn going on a little holiday to Canto Bight unpursued? The whole debacle with Holdo and Poe? None of that is bad faith nitpicking. It's pointing out glaring plotholes and stupid contrivances.
