JOINT NEGOTIATIONS MESSAGE: AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE

Fellow Pilots,

The Union and the Company are pleased to announce that the parties have reached an Agreement in Principle on amendments to the 2016 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in the form of a Bridge Agreement. The Bridge Agreement will take effect if it is ratified by the Union’s membership and will remain in effect until a joint collective bargaining agreement covering Allegiant Air and Sun Country Airlines is reached or the Bridge Agreement is amended by the Union and the Company.

The proposed Bridge Agreement provides for increases to wages, and improvements to retirement, long-term disability, and other provisions in the 2016 CBA, in addition to the payment of retention bonuses following ratification.

The Union will provide more detailed information in the future concerning the proposed Bridge Agreement. The next step is for the Union and Company to begin work on converting the Agreement in Principle to a Tentative Agreement. That process includes Union review of the 2016 CBA and agreed upon changes to the 2016 CBA; Company review of the same; joint finalization of the amended language; joint review of past System Board of Adjustment decisions and agreement about how those may be affected by the proposed changes; drafting and agreement on contract administration examples to avoid unnecessary grievances and disputes; agreement regarding implementation timelines for proposed changes; and joint proof reading.

When this process is completed, a Tentative Agreement will be announced by the parties. After the Tentative Agreement is announced, the Union will provide information about the ratification vote and related information.

Thank you for your support.
