Fellow Pilots, Mr. Fishburn’s endeavor to be Allegiant’s “least useful” and/or “most dishonest” employee continues and with great effect.

The summer months bring increased flight volume, tighter schedules, and higher stress levels, all of which can contribute to complacency. But complacency is […]
Payroll Committee Update – Midyear 2025 As we reach the halfway point of the year, we understand that our pay being correct is very stressful and demanding on the pilot outside of the flight deck duties.
