Negotiating Committee Update – March 16, 2026

We began this week by meeting with the Executive Board-elect on Tuesday, March 10, to present our observations, compiled data, and a potential proposal to the Company. The Executive Board was very receptive to our presentation and to the direction we outlined for moving forward toward closing out Section 15 and the PBS LOA. These decisions require careful judgment and a thoughtful process by the Negotiating Committee. Following that meeting, we formulated a plan for presenting these terms to the Company.

On Wednesday, March 11, we received a full language pass on the PBS LOA from the Company. The Company introduced new concepts that were closer to our priorities; however, they did not provide sufficient protections for pilots in terms of schedule quality. Late Wednesday, we made the decision to present the Company with revised terms for inclusion in the PBS LOA, incorporating concepts we had discussed with the Executive Board on Tuesday.

On Thursday, March 12, we met with the mediator and the Company at Allegiant Headquarters. The initial portion of the session was spent discussing other contract items directly related to the PBS LOA. We also clarified several elements of the concepts discussed on Wednesday. Our focus is to protect pilots’ schedule quality while ensuring pilots are appropriately compensated when flexibility is required.

The Company expressed interest in the concept while also outlining several concerns. In response, the Union presented provisions intended to address management’s concerns while continuing to protect and reward pilots. The Company was receptive to that effort, which led the Union to provide term-sheet language reflecting these concepts.

On Friday, March 13, we again met at Company Headquarters with the mediator as the Company worked to complete its review of the term sheet. During the joint mediation session, the Company indicated that it believes this concept may provide a path forward toward a full-language agreement on Section 15 and the PBS LOA. We share that sentiment. With that said, management indicated that we will receive a response and counterproposal by mid- to late next week. We remain cautious and urge the pilot group to do the same. The progress made this week has the potential to serve as a firm foundation for closing out Section 15 and the PBS LOA in the near term. We also made clear to the Company that we expect its counterproposal to reflect the terms and concepts discussed this week.

The mediator informed both sides that he has tentatively scheduled mediation for the week of March 30. Union and Company negotiating teams confirmed they will continue to engage with one another between mediation sessions. The Union Negotiating Team is working with the full support of Union leadership, Union Counsel, and economists with decades of industry experience. We remain focused on the single goal of achieving the contract this pilot group so greatly deserves.
