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. In recent history:

  • They destroyed 50% of our market value in just 6 months.
  • They lost over 70% on the Sunseeker Sale after spending nearly $1 billion dollars to build it and running it for less than 2 years.
  • The took over $150M in taxpayer assistance — then furloughed pilots anyway and granted millions in executive stock options.

These failures have already affected you as a pilot and it’s time for management to be held accountable for their words and actions. Their pattern of tone-deaf, ego-driven decisions that has repeatedly put the long-term health of our airline at risk and must come to an immediate end.

The facts are clear: whether we have a contract or not, these are not the people that should run this airline. This management team cannot lead this airline and, if left unchecked, will destroy the long-term stability of the Allegiant brand that we built.

While Allegiant management shamelessly promotes a decertification drive to destroy your Union, IBT General President Sean O’Brien has a different message “Enough is enough! We will decertify Allegiant management!”

A special message to Allegiant Air Pilots from IBT General President Sean O'Brien

Message from Sean O’Brien

In line with the directive from Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien, we must do what is necessary to ensure the long-term health of this airline. Local 2118 will conduct a Vote of No Confidence (VONC) in Allegiant’s current management team. This is a difficult but necessary step to ensure accountability and the future success of our airline. Allegiant pilots: we must protect the brand we built from being further damaged by arrogance, greed, and poor judgment.

We ask that you remain informed and participate over the next several days. You can visit our public facing website at decertifymanagement.com. Thank you for your continued engagement and support.
