If I call ProStandards for an issue I'm having with another pilot, am able to remain anonymous?

ProStandards offers confidentiality on issues discussed, but we will not offer anonymity when addressing issues with other pilots.

How can I be sure my calls are confidential?

ProStandards volunteers are specifically trained on the importance and value of confidentiality within our ranks. We do not discuss any issues that arise outside our committee. We ask that anyone who utilizes our committee agree to the confidentiality of all conversations.

When is it better to call my Regional Chief Pilot to handle an issue I'm having instead of ProStandards?

We encourage all Allegiant pilots to utilize union resources before reaching out to company personnel. If the case does not warrant ProStandards assistance, we will be able to point you in the right direction.

I'm having an issue with another pilot, yet I do not feel it raises to the level of a ProStandards call. What should I do?

We encourage our pilots to first attempt to resolve their issues face to face. If that attempt has been made and the issue still is not resolved, we recommend you call ProStandards to discuss potential remedies.

I received a phone call from ProStandards, should I be worried about getting in trouble from the company?

No. ProStandards offers peer-to-peer, non-punitive resolutions. With respect to issues that have been referred from the Chief Pilot’s desk, our committee is guided by the ProStandards Letter of Agreement, which is viewable in our Pilot CBA and on the Union’s website (Select Resources/CBA).
