Education Committee Update – Scope

May 8, 2025 Fellow Pilots,
Section 1 is often referred to as the “Scope Section” of our collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Like other airline CBAs, the scope language in Section 1 describes the flying that must be performed by pilots on our seniority list. It contains language that defends our jobs, compensation, and career opportunities against the negative effects of corporate transactions between Allegiant and other entities. Absent adequate scope language, even the best compensation and work rules could be negated or circumvented. For example, Allegiant could attempt to outsource work to other companies or merge our operating airline into another entity with fewer contractual provisions. For that reason, we must defend any hard-fought pay, benefit, and work rule gains with robust scope language. Railway Labor Act “Section 6 negotiations” provides pilot groups with an opportunity to negotiate new and improved scope protections. Your Union intends to take full advantage of this opportunity. In the next communication on the topic, we’ll continue this discussion by talking about common scope language in the airline industry, how our language currently compares, and why we should be especially concerned about the prospect of outsourcing. Please stay tuned for the next installment in this series! In the meantime, you can join the Allegiant pilot discussion here (APA2118 Forum) and read our FAQ about scope here.
If you or a fellow pilot are having trouble logging in or resetting your account, we’ve updated our IT form to better diagnose and resolve these issues. Steps to Take:
In Solidarity, Your Education Committee |
