Trustee Update – August 29, 2025

Allegiant Pilots, On the eve of Labor Day weekend, I want to offer my sincere appreciation for the volunteers who have stepped up and leaned into your representation; helping rebuild your local and its governance, fighting for a fair contract, all the while taking bullets from the company and its proxies for simply doing what […]

Fellow Pilots, We are standing at a pivotal moment in our fight for fair treatment and a future worthy of the sacrifices we make every day to keep Allegiant Air flying.

Communication Committee Update – August 14, 2025

Fellow Pilots, As management flies around in fancy private jets to do “base visits”, while reminding you that they can’t afford a fair contract, we have a different message. Allegiant’s current management team has failed. Our pilots have lost all confidence in this management group to lead this airline and it’s time to take action.
