Negotiating Committee Changes

Fellow Members,

Capt. Jay Killen and Capt. Jim Cole informed the Executive Board-elect that they have resigned their positions on the Negotiating Committee (NC).

In the face of a long and often contentious negotiation over a new contract, Jay and Jim have been unwavering and skillful advocates for the membership. The Executive Board-elect extends its sincere gratitude and appreciation to both for their hard work, ability, and continuing dedication to the pilot group. They have made themselves available to consult and provide input to the NC as the contract negotiation moves forward, as needed.

We know the entire membership joins us in thanking Jay and Jim as we all strive to achieve the new contract Allegiant pilots expect and deserve.

NC members Capt. John McDonald, Capt. Byron Girmscheid and Capt. Scott Whitman along with our IBT and Local 2118 legal counsel and economist are meeting this week in Las Vegas for negotiations with the company. Local 2118 President-elect Ryan Joseph will also join negotiations this week. The NC, along with the entire Union from top to bottom, is fully committed to negotiating a new contract the membership can proudly ratify.

Fraternally,

APA Local 2118
