PROMISE MADE. PROMISE BROKEN.

WE ARE READY TO STRIKE.

After nearly 4 years of negotiations, Allegiant pilots are still waiting for the contract we were promised by management—a contract that we would be proud to support. Instead, management continues to stall during contract negotiations while offering proposals that fall far short of market standards.

97% of Allegiant pilots have voted to authorize strike action. Allegiant’s leadership continues to test the patience of its pilots instead of addressing the needs of the pilots who built this airline and delivered the airline’s industry-leading success that management boasts about.

It’s time for management to deliver on their promises and recognize the value of their pilots. Stand with us in the fight for a fair contract.

ALLEGIANT AIR MANAGEMENT CONTINUES TO STALL

Allegiant pilots have attempted to bargain with management in good faith for nearly 4 years (over 1,400 days) and still have no new contract. Yet, Allegiant Air management continues to stall negotiations or make woefully substandard proposals that fail to reflect current market realities, including a pay rate increase up to 24% less than our peers and with worse working conditions. It’s time for Allegiant to prioritize its pilots and bring proposals to the table that align with industry standards. We deserve better—support our fight for a fair contract.

WE LOVE OUR PASSENGERS

WE'VE LOST FAITH IN MANAGEMENT

We remain committed to you - our loyal passengers - and the communities we proudly serve with safe, direct service all across the country. Our pilots want to save this airline, but after years of broken promises and failure to deliver a fair contract, we’ve lost faith in management.

We may have no choice but to move on to another airline that properly values our profession - and that could mean the end for Allegiant Air and the routes we fly.

Without a competitive contract, Allegiant cannot retain or attract experienced pilots, threatening the airline’s ability to continue air service to your communities. This airline’s future depends on prioritizing pilots over pet projects and restoring strong labor relations.

Demand that Allegiant deliver a fair contract to its pilots—before it’s too late.

LOWEST PAID PILOTS

INDUSTRY LEADING PROFITS

Allegiant pilots are currently the lowest-paid A320 pilots at any major U.S. airline - despite delivering industry-leading profits to the airline for over 20 years. Through our pilots efforts, Allegiant (stock symbol 'ALGT') has gapped the industry in profits for nearly 2 decades - 33% better than any other airline.

Still, Allegiant continues to grossly underpay its pilots and their proposed "generous pay raises" would still leave us as much as 30% behind our peers at less successful carriers. This unacceptable pay gap undermines the contributions of the pilots who built Allegiant's success and falls well short of current market realities.

A competitive contract isn’t just fair—it’s critical to attract and retain the most experienced and well-trained pilots for Allegiant’s future.

HOTELS OVER PILOTS

MANAGEMENT'S QUESTIONABLE "INVESTMENTS"

Instead of investing in the very pilots who built Allegiant Travel Company ("ALGT") and delivered the massive industry-leading profits that management is so proud of, they wasted nearly $1 billion on the failing Sunseeker Resort. Investing in a hotel is a fool's errand for any airline and has resulted in massive losses.

While the new "resort" is burning cash and nearly 65% empty at times, our pilots -the airline's most profitable investment to date- remain the lowest paid A320 pilots among all major US Airlines (even after delivering record setting profits).

Allegiant pilots demand that management prioritize the people who keep the airline running safely and profitably and abandon useless ventures that jeopardize the airline’s future.

Invest in pilots, not hotels.

INDUSTRY-WORST WORKING CONDITIONS

Allegiant already has among the lowest amount of days off and highest flight hours flown per month for pilots of any major US airline. Allegiant now proposes the ability to schedule pilots right up to the FAA maximum limits each month (aka "redlining"). Prioritizing utilization and massive profits over pilot health and operational reliability is simply not sustainable.

The Federal Aviation Administration set these limits as maximum limit, not as a target for daily operations.

Allegiant pilots are seeking sensible limitations to allow for the financial success of the airline and better operational reliability for our passengers and crew.

AN EXODUS IS COMING

In the recent past, Allegiant Air was losing an average of two (2) pilots per day—a rate that is unsustainable for any airline. The remaining pilots bailed management out before and stayed to keep the operation running, believing management's claim that a fair contract was imminent. After nearly 4 years of bargaining, those promises have been shattered and pilots are fed up.

We won't bail Allegiant management out again.

With network carriers like Delta, American, and United resuming hiring again (with significantly better pay and with superior work rules), Allegiant is threatened with the risk of a mass exodus of experienced pilots. Failure to negotiate a fair contract could cripple or even bankrupt the airline.

Allegiant’s current approach threatens not only the pilots but also the airline’s ability to maintain its operational reliability.

Demand that management act now to save our airline—before it’s too late.
