Executive Board Update: Allegiant–Sun Country Acquisition Committees

Fellow Pilots,

We are taking an important step in preparation for the Allegiant–Sun Country acquisition.

We have officially established the Seniority List Integration Committee and the Merger Committee. The work of these committees will directly shape the future of our combined pilot group.

Volunteer selections were made based on experience, professionalism, sound judgment, and the ability to manage the workload and responsibility these efforts require. To everyone who applied and participated in the interview process, thank you. Stepping forward matters and does not go unnoticed.

The Seniority List Integration Committee will focus on one of the most critical aspects of this process: advocating for the seniority interests of Allegiant pilots. Their work will directly affect bidding, upgrades, and long-term career opportunities. This effort requires disciplined analysis and a clear commitment to representing our group consistent with established seniority integration law and industry precedent. The members of the Seniority List Integration Committee (SLI@apa2118.org) are:

  • Captain Peter Willums, LAS 320
  • Captain Brad Dugan, FLL 737
  • Captain Paul Lawrimore, VBD 737

The Merger Committee will focus on the broader integration strategy, including how the two operations come together and the associated contract implications. Their work will help shape the path forward and ensure this acquisition delivers value to our pilot group. The members of the Merger Committee (Merger@apa2118.org) are:

  • Captain Sam Stoia, CVG 320
  • Captain Gregory (Jay) Ferraro, PGD 320
  • First Officer David White, IND 320

With both committees now established, the work begins. They will coordinate with legal counsel and advisors and begin the detailed analysis required for both the seniority integration process and overall merger strategy. The Executive Board will ensure they have the resources and support necessary to execute this work effectively.

We have full confidence in those selected and trust their ability to represent this pilot group with professionalism and integrity. Our goal is simple: to ensure this process is handled professionally and that the interests of Allegiant pilots are fully represented. We will continue to provide updates as this work progresses.

We ask all Allegiant pilots to support them in this effort. This is a significant undertaking, and they are taking it on for all of us. Stay informed, stay engaged, and support your fellow pilots who are carrying this responsibility on behalf of the entire group.

 

Fraternally,

Your Executive Board
